Oh heck no!! I wouldn't ask anyone to do that!

Nope, I had it in there and was very careful to make sure it was only called
when a valid handle was returned from DosFIndFirst.  I have had ???Close
functions hose the system before when itereated with bad handles. I was watchin

for that one closely...

The real problem was with LS 3.0.  It is a bug with IP07001 & memory getting
lost by the requester when doing directory searches on a redirected drive. 
IP07045 applied to LS 3.0 fixes it. I have been running that exact same code
constantly all week confidence testing it. Hasn't crashed yet. :)
