A single-process, not multi-threaded, I take it...

There were changes in the desktop heap usage from 6.0 due to issues with
desktop heap utilisation (private desktop) - console messages :

"udtsort.exe: Initialization failed"

Are you getting these or anything in the event logs?

I've seen a few oddities with the desktop heap in relatively recent Windows
2003 versions and now routinely turn off "interact with desktop" flags on
UniData services so it is possible there is an issue there. If you can
compare this on Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 would be useful information -
at lease on Windows 2000 you can tune the heap:

HYEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ System/ CurrentControlSet/ Control/ SessionManager/
SubSystems/ Windows ;
