p7zfsu = works better than previous compile, no longer crashes outright, but 'halts' at random times, not a hard crash, can Ctrl-Break out. All modes work well except .7z LZMA -mx9 with filters enabled.

p7zpth = works well on all modes, no crashes even at -mx9 and very large directories. Noticed speed takes a hit, this version is still ~ 15-20% slower than either Mik's or Ruguxlo's previous compilations. Maybe changing compile options will remedy this?

Also, I noticed that the .ZIP header OS identifier is now 0x00, and so they all unzip well with PKWare's utilities. Great!
