Hmm, no I don't get this sort of thing, and I have PMMail running all
the time the system is up. I am using a S3 Trio 64V+ card, with the old
3.03.16 driver. I have never seen this type of hang.

Can you detail your system level, FPs applied etc, 3rd party WPS utils
and all that? Maybe it is something odd you have. I have FP10, OD 2.01,
Process Commander and a few other odds like the old IBM extdesk.
