Hi Matt,
True, I didn't seek to find the bug. Instead, I tried to find a solution to
the "bigger" issue. Namely that the event handler model that David had
choosen, is not the most robust one, and it has caused win32lib to be a
little more complex than what is required. My "solution" does away with the
internal stacks, getSelf(), returnValue(), popSelf(), pushSelf(), and all
the calls to these, plus having to remember to use these in the correct
places. And as a side-effect, makes supporting future sets of downgraded
features, or even optional features, managable - with little or no change of
existing code. Other side effects include simplified win32lib code, and
faster WndProc processing.

I will place your fix into 0.52b and release this today.

cheers
Derek.
