I wish - my gut feeling is it's in the VM guts where I'm as useful as a
chocolate fireguard.

Don't know if you followed the previous posts. All the values I get back are
valid, even when running multiple threads. It fails with just one thread but
takes a long time. I kicked it hard to see what would happen, and it falls
apart fast. What I don't know yet is if it an XP VM problem or all VM's.
This could kill my project I've worked 6 months on.
