First, I hope you null out your Window pointers after you close the windows,
second when you get a message there isn't any need to call LockIBase() 
because you aren't going to do anything yet that will affect a window. 
So when you get a message, copy it, reply to it, and then check to see
if it's window pointer matches any of your open window pointers. If you
keep them in an array this is pretty easy. If it doesn't you just ignore
the message. If it does, then you know that the window is still open so
you go ahead and process it appropriately.
