I, too, have had this happen at odd and various times.  It does not
seem to affect only one application and I have never been using
drawterm at the time.  I know at least one habitual Windows user
who has had the same type of trouble.  I've no idea what causes it,
but it is no fluke as I've seen just what dhog describes take place
on multiple machines.  All of the ones I've seen it on run Windows
95B, but I don't use other Windows versions much, so it may not be
limited to 95.
