Wierd thing happened yesterday.

Trying to pop us a MessageBox() from a dialog box.  Apparently my 
app was clobbering something.  As soon as the Mbox appeared, the root 
background was changed to a screen like this:

WIN3
developers:
joes jimk sarahf ...
...
...
...

usered:
joes jimk sarahf...
...
...

etc,etc

Neat!  Anybody ever encountered this before?
