slow FP on windows

[Bob Thomason]

I've seen something similar to this on a Windows 2003 server.  If you use a
"close" command to close a lookup, it will drive the system to a "snails
pace".

On the one system I support, I can comment out the close statement and the
system runs at a normal pace.

Hope this helps.........
