IMHO, freezing up in the middle of something just happens a lot by itself under DOS or win 3.1. I have tried the RISK demo on executor/Linux quite a few times (to figure out, by curiosity, how RISK works) and I have not seen it crash. The same can be said for the Ultimate Solitaire demo to which I have become addicted.. :) Have you tried a more recent executor version?
