[slinkelist] Advise Marshal Failed error message

Mon, 25 Oct 1999 10:21:23 -0700

For me - YES - it does work for a while, sometimes a long while,
sometimes a short while.
After the error, the 'no sink' errors will continue to stack up for each
IR that has been received.  The only way to clear the program is to
continue clicking on the 'no sink' error - which can take a while if
Slinke has received a lot of IR since you noticed the problem.

For resources, I have the problem on a W95 machine when it is only
running a couple of apps - nothing major.  I get the error with only
SlinkX and a Delphi App running (IRHelper).  It sometimes happens after
running for only minutes, other times after running for about 12 hours. 
Others using IRHelper have not noticed this error at all (or have not
reported it to me).  If it is a low resource problem, then possibly the
SlinkX server is the one draining the resources under some certain
circumstances.
