Running boinc mgr 6.12.33 on a VMware virtualized windows box (XP guest, XP pro SP3 and all recent M$ updates applied).

Frequently, but not always, the windows start menu just shows as a gray box. More often than not, the tabs on the Boincmgr window aren't there (in their place is the background at the time the window was restored). Sometimes but not always, menus for other programs are "not visualizable".

If I stop boincmgr, all of the menu problems go away, leading me to the conclusion that boincmgr is the problem, but, at the same time, I find that hard to believe.

Has anyone else seen similar phenomena? Is this a "known" bug? Stray cosmic rays?
