I'll second that motion.  I have caught glimpses of them from another node
on the LAN during toss sessions, but Squish works so fast that they're gone
again before you can DIR again.  If they're being stranded, it would
indicate to me also that the Squish EXE is terminating abnormally (process
manually killed or issue with a hardware resource - disk/memory error).

Logs should contain a clue...either real errors logged (doubtful), or
"Begin," statements without matching "End." statements
(my bet).
