Thanks for your reply.
I read the RELEASE-NOTES and disabled Exec-shield for all binaries.
Same results as before. I discovered now that IE6 does work after the
error dialog is closed, regardless of the setting of the Exec-shield
value, so it is more of an aggravation than a show stopper. I did
submit a ticket to the Codeweavers problem site.
