16 bit windowed console crash on very simple app. (Version 2.0 - 2nd February 2022)

[tsupplis]

Compiling the following code base.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("hello\n");
    return 0;
}

Using the following command line

 wcl -q -os -d3 -0 -bw -bt=windows -l=windows -fe=test16.exe base.c

The version used is: Open Watcom C/C++ x86 16-bit Compile and Link Utility Version 2.0 beta Feb 2 2022 01:01:17 (32-bit) Copyright (c) 2002-2022 The Open Watcom Contributors. All Rights Reserved.

Both binaries crash on windows 3.11 or windows me with the same issue:

For 16 bit:

As a comparison, I also compiled it in wi386 mode and it works well:

wcl386 -q -os -d3 -3 -bw -bt=windows -l=win386 -fe=test32.rex base.c
wbind -q -n test32.rex

Thanks for your bug report. I am able to reproduce your problem. It looks like mouse processing problem in C run-time library.

Extra little nugget in info: This is a regression from 1.9.

Yes, I checked it on OW1.9 too, it works without problem.
