There is a severe bug in the game, which causes Windows to crash and immediately reboot without even a bluescreen. It appears in redink1's own dmod FIAT in the basement under the church on the first island. When hitting the pillbugs a changing amount of time, game freezes, bluescreen flashs, PC reboots. Seems to have something to do with the soundsystem, because turning off sound in DFArc avoids this behaviour. The problem is reproduceable. I tried it even in Wine on Linux, which froze the game, playing over and over a short part of some sound. There appeared a debug message about an division by zero, but I don't remember exactly, because it was about two weeks ago, and I wanted to finish first FIAT. (I didn't do it, 'cause I was too frustrated about this big amount of bugs, which make it really unplayable. Shame on you, redink1 ). On Wine / Linux, I have no MIDI enabled, as I was too lazy to configure it yet, so it should not be a problem with MIDI.
I hope the information's enough, if not, drop me a line, I'll check it out.
