Thanks for that.  Just wanted to say I haven't forgotten about this report. 
Unlike previous putclip|getclip error reports, this one is a Heisenbug.. difficult 
to reproduce under a debugger or with any change made to the source.  I do have a 
handle on the issue thanks to a malloc debugger: it's a buffer overrun.  Debugging 
continues...
