ROOT 2.23.11 + Win98: dll error on root startup

ROOT v 2.23.11 outputs the following error messages when root is started
under win98.  I have set ROOTSYS properly, added %ROOTSYS%\bin to my
PATH, and started root from the MSDOS prompt by simply typing "root".
Is there anything else I am doing wrong to get ROOT 2.23.11 to work
properly  under Win98?

When I follow exactly the same procedure I outlined above with ROOT v
2.22.09, then root starts up properly without any dll error messages.
This leads me to believe that it may be a problem with the 2.23.11 build
for WinNT/98.  The file I grabbed was
ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v2.23.x86.Windows_NT.tar.gz.

Can any ROOT Windows experts help me out please?  It would be nice to
know if this problem is reproducible on other Win98 machines.

Here is the output from my ROOT session:

C:\Program Files\root\2_23_11>set ROOTSYS="C:\Program
Files\root\2_23_11"
C:\Program Files\root\2_23_11>PATH=%PATH%;%ROOTSYS%\bin
C:\Program Files\root\2_23_11>root
