We didn't just track down that bug, we left evidence of its extermination as a warning to other bugs.

Yep. Not only did we fix the process that was corrupting the file that was causing the third party library to lock up, now any time when we call the third we spawn a separate thread and make sure it doesn't take longer than a few seconds to do what it needs to.
It's probably foolish to depend on the .NET runtime to protect memory in the separate thread, so we should really fork another process, but under Windows that's pretty heavyweight.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
