Actually, this seems to fail whenever conagent.exe is running in the
foreground...
( ... noticed it failed every time safe.e is used, thanks Rob,    )
... because the win32lib code uses CWP_SKIPTRANSPARENT, it is probably trying
to get the handle of the DOS box... and failing !
... which occurs in trace mode, or when using safe.e, or if another DOS box
is open because we're using something like printf(1,...    , or ?...   in our
code ???
