If I recall correctly, it is an issue with blitting to a locked 
screen(via ctl-alt-del for example).  In the case of the IDE, a popup 
occurs when the emulated text cursor is being blitted.  I'm not sure if 
it's an XP-only issue or not.  The error is (similar using 0.59.1):

---------------------------
Win32Lib AppWindow - Error Warning
---------------------------
bitBlt:BitBlt failed.

Press
  [ YES ]  to continue,
  [ NO ] to ignore repeats, or
  [ Cancel ]  to quit.

Win32Lib v0.59.2 13-Feb-2004 Beta
---------------------------
Yes   No   Cancel   
---------------------------

I can repro running PRETEND.EXW demo then hitting Ctl-Alt-Del.  You 
don't have to actually lock the system to get the popups and in fact 
you'll want to ESC back to the program quickly because that demo does 
many updates per second.
