It seems that Exceed does not have this problem. But maybe, if I run it
just a little longer it will happen there too. 
Will test again once I find some time.

I was preaching since I got the impression that you didn't think
along these lines. Obviously a misunderstanding.

Anyway, I really appreciate that you guys made it work on Windows,
and it works very well except for this one problem which very likely
isn't its fault. I also know where you are coming from, since I am an
OpenSource developer myself (Expat XML Parser) and spend some of my
spare time working on it.

Best wishes,

Karl
