Arrrgh! Don't eat lunch and type at the same time. That line should
have read:

Basically, a long-process shell execution occurs (unloading a tape
from a drive in a library, returning it to its slot, and then
loading the next tape. The procedure can take anywhere from 3 to 8
minutes depending on the tape drive and library type. During this
process, I display a "Standby" dialog with a ProgressWheel and a
timer that fires every 1500MS and simply executes x = rnd *
323232. The timer was added based on the discussion that had
occurred with Joe Huber's original query to the list. The
ProgressWheel continues to spin even when the app is stalled. As
soon as the mouse is moved or a keystroke occurs, the app resumes.
I've requested that the report be reopened. Please add yourself if
you're also witnessing unexpected stalls.
