OK after a month of checking (on and off)
I revisited the DLL I wrote, and the code
was horrible. I wrote this about 6 years ago...
problems were....

1. No proper encapsulation of variables with objects
    (I was using global variables)
2. Non thread safe code and function calls.
3. Same temporary file names used throughout
    (ridiculous when running con-currently)
4. Other concurrency issues.

I must admit I learn't a lot about multi-threading
design in the last few years - now onto SMP!
