Basically you're safe if you only have App.DoEvents (and then 
associated commands like Socket.Poll to make it more tricky) in your 
application main thread.

So don't put it in RB Threads, button Action events, etc.

If you do you can:

- freeze your app,
- crash it,
- have variables contain values before your code actually assigns them to them,
- and have other extremely weird symptoms like the one above.

Disclaimer: ;-)
This knowledge was gathered during testing with a particular release 
of RB and may not be valid with any other ones.
