We have a PM app running on OS/2 *2.1* systems that has a button
which starts an OS/2 Window session.  Sometimes (but not usually),
when the user selects the button, the following error message appears:


 ---
OS/2 Window Cannot Start.

Make sure the path for the program is correct and the file is an OS/2
or DOS program.  There might not be enough memory available to run
the program or the file may be locked by another process.  Do you
wish to modify the setting for the object OS/2 Window?

 Yes    Cancel   Help

I also tried it from the command line, "start cmd".  We got error #1059: 

SYS1059: The system cannot execute the specified program.

EXPLANATION: The operating system encountered an unknown
error while attempting to start up the program.

ACTION: Contact the supplier of the program.

When I tried "start /fs cmd" to start it in full screen mode, it worked
fine.

Anyone know what this might be?  I don't think it's a memory or
thread availability issue because just before this button is
selected, several processes are shut down, freeing up more memory and
threads than the OS/2 Window uses.

When the machine is rebooted, it works fine. (?!?!)

Thanks for any help.
