Win32Lib bug? Crash on open file dialog

Hello,

Don't know if this has been reported before.  I was noticing I would 
sometimes get a machine-level crash when I had the Open File dialog 
open.  It seems to happen if you very quickly (within a second or so) 
after opening your main window open an Open File dialog.  If you allow 
the dialog to remain open for 5 - 10 seconds, the program crashes.  So I 
created the following program which opens the dialog immediately:

--------------------------
include win32lib.ew
without warning

constant
Main = create( Window, "Main", 0, Default, Default, 500, 500, 0)

procedure main_open(integer void1, integer void2, sequence null)
object x
	x = getOpenFileName(Main,"",{})
end procedure
setHandler(Main,w32HActivate,routine_id("main_open"))


WinMain(Main,Normal)

---------------

Sure enough, if you run the program and just wait 5 seconds or so, it 
crashes.  Not every time, but 30%-40% of the time.  I'm running on 
Windows ME...
