Sorry my late reply, I was pretty busy these days...

I tried to reporduce your problem, but without success. Have a look at

http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Linux/32

where I replied 20 times producing a very long thread without any problem. So 
can you reproduce your problem? I suspect that there was some other problem, 
since the number of replies is internally not limited in any way. If you 
again get into a situation where elodg.exe crashes on the *DISPLAY* of some 
message, you can send me the offending file xxxxxxa.log directly by email and 
I can analyze it. Only if I can reproduce a problem, I can fix it.
