	I've written some code for generating a Metafile (mostly MoveTo
and LineTo commands) and clipping it to the clipboard.  I am basing this
code on the fragments presented in Petzold's book.  
	The problem is, though I can clip to other applications just fine,
the Clipboard Viewer CRASHES and clears the clipboard in the process.  Upon
further experimentation I found that CorelDraw has the same effect on the
Viewer.  Has anyone seen this before?  Is Clipboard Viewer just plain
buggy, or is the problem on my end?
