Thanks for the heads up, I think calling INT 9 or 19 would cause the VDM
under Windows Server 2003 to just terminate. I'm not quite sure if a batch
file "called" would make a difference but it was mentioned here
in this forum that it might. Usurper is really strange; it could
arbitrarily take anywhere from 15 minutes up to 3 hours to finish its
nightly maintenance.
