The fact that no other software does this does not mean it is not
a DOS bug. If a company does a good job of testing their software,
the bugs that make it out to customers *should* be obscure ones
that only a few people will find.

If there is no workaround then there is not much that WP can do
except tell you who to yell and scream at (Microsoft or 3Com.)
