There seems to be a bug in the ActivateWindow call. It is exhibited
by:
0. Launch the program from an icon
1. Closing the Workbench screen
2. Opening a new custom screen
3. Opening one or more windows on the new screen
WITHOUT the ACTIVATE flag set.
4. ActivateWindow() one of those windows.
What seems to be happening is that ActivateWindow doesn't check to see
whether the previously active window is still open, and writes over
random areas of memory, causing all sorts of cute things to happen
(menus are displayed strangely, and sometimes chip memory gets EXCEEDINGLY
fragmented. Note that this bug seems to crop up with DPaint II every
so often, as well).
At the end of this message is C source to recreate the bug. It compiles
under Lattice 5.0.
