It's something that I and others have noticed on occasion as well. I do
remember that thread, however, and tried to keep a very close eye on a
DOS machine which was running fairly constantly here at the time. Didn't
see anything, though. The insights posted here would explain why -- very
little C software was running on that machine. [:)
Take care and TTYL.
