Installing olc to Rom

I've recently set up a Rom server on my win98 machine using cygwin and the basic out-of-the-box rom2.4b6 source. So far, the original source has compiled and started up rather smoothly (thanks to tips and tricks I've found on this site).
My next step is to install olc. I've downloaded a copy of "Ivan's OLC" and unpacked it. I've followed his instructions so far flawlessly. The patch patches nicely, the code also compiles error free, but when I run the rom.exe (which has bulked from an 860k file to an 1100k file, after the patch) I get an error like the following:

....rom is ready to rock on 4000
170 [main] rom 621415 handle_exception:Exception:STATUS_CHECK_VIOLATION
536468 [main] rom 621415 open_stackdumpfile:Dumping Stack trace to rom.exe.stackdump.

I was just wondering if anyone has encountered anything like this, what it means, and how to fix this?

I recently did a big post about using gdb (see one level up in this forum) - try running under gdb and at least see where the crash occurred.

ie. instead of typing: 'rom', type 'gdb rom'

See the gdb page for more hints.
