With this patch, Myst locks up solid as soon as the mouse is moved into
the Myst window. Without it, Myst works fine.

Same with Red Alert, except without the patch the mouse would eventually lock 
up, instead of right away with this patch. The bug is actually there, and 
it's really annoying, but the fix is wrong.

Hum, ok thank for pointing out that my fix does not work. I will
continue to try to investigate more, and see if i can find another fix
or understand the problem more completely.

thanks
