Waldemar,
the bugs that I have seen are invariably the ones where it causes
your system to apparently go to sleep while performing certain functions
like prints, Cam generation, etc.. The system takes forever to complete
those tasks, possibly 20 - 30 minutes for a print of your panel or
generating Cam files. While printing for example the progress status
progresses normally from 0 - 99% and then sits at 99% for 15 - 20 minutes,
or even more sometimes before the process closes and completes letting you
have your machine back. During this time if you check Task Manager,
Client99??? is using 95 - 99% of your system resources. There is Protel KB
#1807 on this issue. It is a longstanding bug going back to P98 at least.
Protel has databases from me, for a couple of years now, which do this
consistently but they seem to have never pursued a fix or determining the
exact cause according to the KB report. Typical!
Sincerely,
Brad Velander.
