[M3devel] non-deterministic behavior on Windows

[Daniel Alejandro Benavides D.]

Hi all:
without fear for being non-respectful, that thing is not quite right and certainly not always possible, could be that you have a worm or agent in your system, like a program infecting more and more each time (believe it happens many times). Are the machines net interconnected (LAn or WAN)?
I would prefer to say, I think IMHO, better to say, virus programs (or try a brand new machine)....
Hope it helps,
