	It would appear that the workbench locks up when a call is made
to WindowToFront() while it is manipulating workbench icons, as can happen
when you click on an icon with DMouse active.

	I have determined that DMouse is not the problem ... I moved
the WindowToFront() to a separate process and was able to lock up the
machine (software errord the workbench even!) with DMouse not installed.

	The solution is and will be to either disable window to front
(-L0) OR leave it enabled and set the # of clicks to >1 (-c2) and then not
double-click over an icon.

	In any case, this particular bug will not be fixed in DMouse 1.07,
which is currently undergoing in-house testing (i.e. it's in my login 
sequence).
