<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">I've just been looking at this again as this is still causing confusion. I've been looking at the svcs.cpp part of the BBWin code and while I'm not a programmer, I noticed
that in 2 places the word "stopped" is actually spelt "stoppped". It's just a feeling but it might be that it is causing the false status to be reported.<br>
