The engine used to lock messages when building a standalone but that was 
changed 4 years ago. Personally I think it causes more problems than it 
solves, but the solution is to add (multiple) handlers to your stack to 
avoid the dialog. Most of my stacks work okay without the additions, but if 
you have certain handlers in the message hierarchy you get the dialog. The 
code you need to add is in the link above.
