I'm having a problem, although it could certainly be a bug in my stuff, where
I'm trying to open different screens of different sizes and resolutions
and calling ScreenToFront() on them a bunch, and opening and closing screens
a bunch.

The problem is, sometimes an interlaced screen that's already loaded will,
when a ScreenToFront is done on that screen, come up as non-interlaced and
only show half the picture in the normal screen area.

I thought it was my code for sure until it happened to the workbench screen
(I normally run with an interlace workbench).  A crash quickly follows.

So, has anybody else seen this?  Peter thought he'd seen something on the
net about it in the not too distant past.
