Hehe, I experience very similar effect on one old 16-bit application.  AFAIR,
this effect is called a "race conditions" or "racing".  When application shows
message box about a refresh rate error, you could launch winedbg, select a
process (info proc), attach to it (attach 0xB , for example) and to get
backtraces of all its threads (bt all).  That may bring more information to you.

But if your app hangs and debugger isn't able to attach to it (this is the case
for me) then the only way to find a cause of this is to get two different logs,
'+all' versus '+relay,+all' and to try diffing them (diff -u), I think.  This
would require gigabytes of free diskspace, I am afraid.
