Hi.

This isn't a problem we've heard about before, so there aren't a whole lot of things we have in the "bag-o-tricks" for workarounds. To be honest, our 9x/ME testing plans have not included long-term multiple instance testing (we do this a TON on the NT platforms, but haven't done it much on the 9x platforms).

One thing that would be useful is to have you try our latest beta version, as the engine system has been mostly rewritten. Because this is only in beta, you'll need to be a licensed user to run it. I'll send you a temporary key in email so you can give that a whirl and see what it does for you (also, because it's a beta, it has some additional logging that might enable us to locate the problem if it does still happen in the beta).
