Steve,

A search of the list turned up this:

20 Apr	Raab, Andreas	RE: My 1st PWS Crash :-(

This is a weird NT thing - for some reason NT does not want to create a
thread for the socket. How long have you been running PWS without restart or
reboot of the machine?! I would guess that restarting Squeak should solve
this issue (if not, then a reboot of the machine might help ;-) In any case,
getting the latest SPs is probably a good idea.
