   Hello!   
      
      
   I just ran into a new situation with Winpoint.   
      
   I fired it up and kinckstarted the handy nodelist viewer via    
      
   When I started to enter the particulars for my search, the program kicked     
   into "Waiting for Optimization to complete.." and bogged down my whole XP     
   pc environment.  Even Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Task Manager was not     
   responding as soon as I hoped it would.  But after a few more attempts of     
   C-A-D, I was able to kill the WinPointII.exe process.   
      
   But.. what did I just witness with the "Waiting..." ?
