I really doubt it. I've been running ComMan 1.3 since its release
without any problem at all. And I don't recall any bug reports here on
Usenet. Also, I'm a paying customer of Bill Hawes (Both Arexx and
WShell) and ConMan 1.3 was shipped with the most current version of both
programs.

I did have one problem with ConMan, the History command didn't work.
Turned out that I had it in two places in my path, and had only replaced
one when I upgraded. Silly me.
