Steve,

I had similar problems with clients that use Windows 98. I never saw
something like this in XP.
It just hangs in the middle of something. If you try again, it works.

This just happens with embedded server, and not all the times. In 10
times, 7 just work ok.
On one client, we solve the problem updating the C Library. But this
client is not trusty in feedbacks, so I really would like some more
input on this.
Can you please check the version of your msvcp*.dll files ?

Artur
