- Yup! At 03873B74? I think it is the same bug rather than a different one
- though. I got round it by replacing the dbox_dispose() with a call to an
- alarm function in the same way as for closing a normal window. pass "(void
- *) d" as the alarm handle and you can cast it back and dispose of it when
- all is clear. I am told setting the button type to one of the notify on
- release flavours is an alternative cure.
