True, but there is something special about the RUN command that provokes
this.
I have other applications that create hidden windows, and they have no
problem on Vista Beta 2.

And from vbscript, I can launch programs with hidden windows, and they
have no problem.

I'll of course be reporting the problem to Microsoft as well, since
nothing the program does should cause a crash.
