Or could it be a problem with my old Windows version?
Possibly. Anything is possible under Windows.
Have you tested it with the 95/98/ME series?
Not in recent times. In the past, yes - and then, I didn't experience these problems.
All I could easily try is PDCurses for DJGPP under Linux DosEmu. I'm not sure it's worth the effort, if the problem is between various Windows versions.
BTW: I don't think there is any need to call CrtInit directly.
If I leave it away, I even have problems under GNU/Linux with the second program...
Well - that is a problem. As far as I know, you should not need to call CrtInit directly.
Depends on what kind of "problems" (you didn't really explain that). Without CRTInit, CRT behaves more BP compatible (some might actually consider this a problem ;-), perhaps that's what you're seeing. But I think it's all explained in the comments in crt.pas.
