 Sh> Icyterm grabbed the error pretty well:

 Sh> An unhandled exception occurred at $08159CF6 : ERangeError
 Sh> : Range check error $08159CF6 RAEXEC, line 786 of
 Sh> src/elebbs/execfunc.pas $080761A4 EXECUTEMENUFUNC, line 425 of
 Sh> src/elebbs/elemenu.pas $08079382 ENTER_MENU, line 1158 of
 Sh> src/elebbs/elemenu.pas $08072A0F START_THIS_PROGRAM,
 Sh> line 191 of src/elebbs/main.pas $080490E7 main, line 557 of
 Sh> src/elebbs/elebbs.pas

Ok, even trying to run linux executables gets this error.  I need to find a
way to compile the source...  I get tons of errors when using the supplied
script to compile with free pascal and never end up with any executables.
