Don't waste too much time on it.  I get the same hangs in DOS.  Bailey's
will run from between 4 and 60 minutes or so and then hang.  I worked with
EdMark on the problem for a while and we concluded it was their lack of
support for newer soundcards and insisting that the SoundBlaster use certain
IRQs.  They have no intention of "fixing" this but might consider it for
future titles.

(On my system IRQ 10 is the only one free for my SB-16 but Bailey's doesn't
 allow that)
