Looked closer and see that your guess that it is a bug in psel is
probably correct. psel takes both number arg and name arg and it is
incorrectly deciding that the - (not a digit) indicates a name. This may
require a new j.exe to fix. I will get back to you shortly.

The problem may be related to 'bad' temp file names.
I was only up to 89.ijs in my temp directory, in addition to a few
named (not numbered) IJS files. No leading dashes or underscores.
Anyway, I moved all files out of ~temp, leaving that directory empty.
The problem persists.
On the upside, in the last hour+, the problem has become less
frequent. Now it seems like a 50/50 chance of getting a "bad" J
session. I can live with that.
Perhaps the problem is as Stephano suggests: the hwnd is an unsigned
int, but you have it declared as plain int in j.exe. Then, when you
format the handle, it gets a leading '-', which is fine, until you
pass it back to psel, which doesn't know how to interpret that.
But, as I cannot create a reproducible test case, I'll leave the
investigation up to you, should you choose to pursue it.
