Have you tried using an Echo_Client_var instead of _ptr? It seems likely
that after you've started the thread using AfxBeginThread, that your
object reference will go away, since you're returning from the doCMD()
method - back to your Win95 client. The reference is not guaranteed to
be valid (nor likely to be) after your method completes - and it looks
like it isn't.

     What happens to ar_cEchoClient now?
