This happens to me every now and then on my home Win98SE computer and
very frequently on my work WinNT 4.0 computer when I am working on
Visual Basic programs.  It does not seem to happen at any other time.
I've looked for a fix but not very hard and have found nothing.  It does
not seem to cause any problem other than filling up the taskbar.
