The problem has nothing to do with Clipper or Blinker, I think. There seems
to be similar problem with specific chipsets or graphic cards (SiS, Nvidia).
Just open a Dos box (running cmd.exe or command.com), go to some folder
containing many files (try Windows system folder) and use dir command many
times - you shall have your GPF very soon.

With Clipper 5.3b and Blinker 1.0 on Windows XP Pro..

N = 200
for i = 1 to N
run dir gpf.prg
?? i
next

...runs perfectly as does, in C..

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define N 200

int main(void) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
system("dir gpf.c");
printf("%d\n", i);
}
return 0;
}
