button's in windows Xp, [No matter whether it's IE or
a WordPad] surprisingly there is 100% CPU use at the

the button! Moreover, we've noticed if you
continuously click the button for a long time [... not
release it and hold ON ] we've seen gradual/slow rise
in page-file use too...!!!

working at different terminal..... (O;
