Speaking of MS-Windows problems...

[Ian Roxborough]

Just a thought:

A while I ago I posted a patch that should help Insight stop
crashing so much on MS-Windows platforms.  Details here:

  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2002-q1/msg00168.html

It might be worth checking it in.  I didn't notice any side effects,
but it could always be backed out if it causes any problem.

I remember this patch, but I am hesitant to use it, because it could be 
covering up a more serious problem.

Well, I think it is time to admit that maybe that more serious problem 
may be easier to track or solve than the current one.

What do others think? Should I check this in?
