Yes, but only if I'm in the debugger. When I had the handler announce 
itself in the message box, I got the right number of iterations too. But 
when I stepped through in the debugger, it was like it called itself 
twice. The message watcher also said there was only one message sent. It 
may be a debugger issue rather than a message-sending problem. The code 
acts okay until I step through it.

I wanted to give you something to do. :) I've been trying to track down 
a critical bug for four days and I can't find where it's happening. I 
thought this backscript thing might have something to do with it, but 
I've removed the backscript and it didn't help. So, blind alley.
