I have this problem with Microsoft programs, like Excel 4. Once 
I got Lotus 123 V5, no worries. I've heard MS does this on purpose, but
I can't be sure.

I have this problem too but I found that it is diplay driver-related, 
the CPU load is almost 100% with an earlier driver, but the "stickiness"
gone with a new driver.

You haven't got win-os2 session setup as fastload have you.  From what I 
understand the fasload option keep some sort of VDM running ready to start
windows apps.

I've encountered the same problem whenever I run seamless Win-OS2 sessions. 
They don't shut down properly.  I too have to kill them--I use PM Patrol. 
I've not worried about it much since my configuration is byzantine (currently
running 46 processes and 195 threads according to PM Patrol), and I don't run
seamless Win-OS2 sessions very often.

I do *NOT* have the fastload option enabled.
