I've got an application that Windows doesn't want to run two or more times
simultaneously.  As soon as I start one copy, trying to start a second
copy always gives me an "Application Execution Error" saying that I
can't run multiple copies.  Yet I've compiled with multiple data segments.
And it's not even calling the WinMain procedure, so checking hPrevInstance
doesn't do anything.... Any ideas as to what else could be wrong here?
