I've noticed this error while using the Free TNT-Lite Mix server
for Windows95. It doesn't always fail, and usually immediately
starting the program again works. Haven't tried to trace where
it's failing yet, but it seems to be something in the startup code.
Once a program starts up, it will run fine.
