Martin, recall the WinXP issue on resources.  This is that hook.  I will
try to get more details out of the US base ALI people in a few days.

Just a heads up, 95% of all hosts have hooks in function zero of the

I have now several reports about Transmeta LifeBooks that are doing things
bad and not conforming to the docs.  This is not good.
