Is this a minor bug in RGUI.EXE?

You can't. MSVCRT.DLL supposedly depends on the OS (95/98/NT/2000), and furthermore is not re-distributable. (It is if you use VC++, but we do not.) Yes, a lot of problems are traceable to rogue MSVCRT.DLLs or other system dlls.
Are you sure about this? I have been using an ActiveX control (AddFlow from Lassalle Technologies, http://www.lassalle.com) that claims to have a version that is ... "statically linked with the Microsoft shared DLLs (mfc42.dll, msvcrt.dll). The advantage is that it does not need those DLLs to work." Perhaps this .OCX was written with VC++. Seems likely.
Well, Microsoft do change their minds, but when we first looked into changing, yes it was clearcut.
Anyway, I've sold the problem here. BTW, Is there a system .DLL dependency list for RGUI.EXE? The only reference that I can find in the documentation is to MSVCRT.DLL from rw1020 onwards.
Well, pedump.exe will tell you, as will quick view on a well-equipped machine. It's the standard ones (kernel, user32, advapi, gdi as I recall) plus comctl32, version and wsock32. With rw1030 two weeks off, it's a bit irrelevant (since the answer is different there).
