It is certainly a reported problem - *I* reported it! Mainly, I admit because it 
causes even worse problems under Win95 (the events don't give enough time for the 
system to reply so Win95 thinks WinDis is not responding to the system). I got round 
it by having a VB routine running permanently that does a POP3 request to WinDis 
every 15 seconds. God alone knows why it keeps it going, but it does!
