We've noticed that the COSW.INI corrupts itself with semi-regularity -- with ~20 users, 1 will become corrupt every few months. When this happens, all sort of strangeness occurs -- user not able to open another session with "no more sessions available" error, or Comet crashes with a generic Windows error message..

The quick fix is to just delete COSW.INI and let it recreate it, which is fine, but it'd be nice to fix the corruption in the first place.

Anyway: attached are a corrupt INI from a few minutes ago, and it's working counterpart. To correct the situation, I removed all the [Toolbar] entries, and now everything works as it should again.

Obviously, something is creating a wonky entry, probably when the user does something odd, like moving a toolbar. The entries are clearly supposed to be in an "X=Y" kind of format, and yet there's an entry that's only "92". Hmmm.

Not a show stopper, but pretty annoying.
