Occasionally my machine (two different machines - actually) hangs when I exit 
WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows. I'm running WP in seamless mode with default 
settings. The mouse pointer moves, but clicking the mouse buttons has no 
effect. There is absolutely no response to keyboard input - even Ctrl-Alt-Del
has no effect.

I'm running Word Perfect for Windows, UK English version and OS/2 2.1 beta.

Another minor bug is that the PM X-server disables the shutdown sequence -
shutdown starts normally, but will just stop after the other running
processes have been shut down. Pressing Ctrl-Esc after this will bring
up the task list momentarily, but it dissappears at once. Ctrl-Esc once 
more brings up the task list as usual, and lets you stop PMX manually.
After this is done, the shutdown command works as normal. The shutdown
procedure worked normally with the 2.0GA+SP combination. I can't recall
the syslevel of the TCP/IP  components offhand, but I've installed 
fairly recent CSD's for all the TCP/IP components.
