Right. What's happening is that the hooks are continuing to post messages
to WinVNC, even though it's temporarily gone away to send an update - it
can't handle the incoming messages while it's transmitting the update. The
fix is to separate the update thread from the hook handling thread but
that's non-trivial. I'll have a look at it, though.
Cheers,
James "Wez" Weatherall
