	I have discovered a bug in VirusX 3.10.  It causes VirusX to
stop responding to everything, though its window remains on the screen.
Here is how to duplicate it:

(0)	Reboot (if desired) so you know your machine is clean.
(1)	From the CLI, invoke VirusX by typing "VirusX".
	The VirusX window appears at the top of your screen.
(2)	Click on the VirusX window to activate it.
(3)	[Do this QUICKLY!]  Type "i", and immediately click on (and
	activate) the CLI window before VirusX has a chance to put up its
	"info" window.
(4)	VirusX puts up its "info" window, but it is BLANK.
	VirusX now no longer responds to anything you do.  You can't even
	kill it by clicking on its close gadget.

	I suspect that the program is looping infinitely in the
"WaitForNewSize()" routine, waiting for a message that will never
come.
