Novell Client 3.32 for Windows 9x

[apedret]

We have a Microsoft FoxPro 2.6 database along with the Novell Client 3.32 (with client32.nlm patch). The patch appears to prevent the database's index from getting corrupt, but still causes FoxPro to hang.
Previous Novell clients did not cause this error and it appears to have started with version 3.31.

Database corruption with Novell Client 3.31 (Last modified: 05APR2002)

I haven't tested this thoroughly, but if you End Task after FoxPro hangs you can re-launch it and it appears to work.

I'm already giving Novell grief about it and they already have a BETA fix available. Ironically, it runs well on Windows 2000 with the latest Novell clients.

Is there anything else I could look at to make this database run more stable on Windows 9x?
