If I specify CS_OWNDC and I then GetDC() once and only release it
when my app terminates, is my app being just a resource hog or can
this actually cause serious problems (either to my app or the system)?

So far, keeping my hDC doesn't seem to be causing problems but I would
like to be sure.

Thanx for any info...
