it shouldn't. if it does, it's a bug.

it's not really a bug. it's the only way to get your code working on win98.
and our bug, as we emulate win98, but really we are under linux.
(win98 allows cr0 access)
so it's not easy to solve. the easiest way was modifying your binary for
linux.

really we want to see native linux version of your codec - instead of win32
loader hack. do you plan it? i've seen a few linux-related files in the
source, but it looks very unfinished and unmaintained :(
