Pretty funny. Circa 1997 I developed an auditory-lab program using Visual
C++ (though I used Codewright as the editor so I could get my beautiful vi
interface -- I had no idea there were free vi's around at that time!).
When I sent it to the customer, he complained about the program crashing
when the mouse hovered over a certain location. WTF!? Was my code F'ed up?
No, as it turned out, I had to have him update his COMMDLG32 DLL.
Whew!
