  Do you know how many windows there are by the time that each of three .ini
files have been read to the 100% mark?

  Do you know how slowly each one of those windows closes when there's
hundreds of them?

  I manually clicked away every single one of them because I wasn't sure if
I'd be able to reproduce the error or not, so once I'd got it I didn't want
to let it go.  It was late at night and my judgement may have been impaired
by sleep-deprivation!

  Yes, I kind of deduced that.... do you know what the syntax is to turn
them off, by any chance?

ObTopic:
  Oh, it's time to repost that do-the-dll-last patch again, with more
tidyups and generally finalised.  Will get to it shortly.

    cheers,
