I doubt it have a fix, I saw it with Norton Commander. NC normally makes W95 
to indicate that all the CPU is under use (in fact it slow downs the 200MHz 
MMX Pentium of a friend), some times after exiting NC the system still 
asigning all the free CPU to the DOS box. I don't know why or how to solve 
it, but looks like a bug in the W95 scheduler. Lamentably we don't have W95 
sources ;-))
