John will tell you that this may violate your licensing agreement with Microsoft. Since MS hasn't done anything about providing a fix themselves, you make your own decision - violate the licensing agreement on a product that MS won't provide support for and don't complain to MS about it, and don't distribute the patch on a commercial basis if you do find that it works for you.

>Microsoft's recommendation at the moment is to switch to a version of VFP and rewrite or port your app; this is not a solution AFAIC, since for Win3.x environments, it would require the addition of the (now unsupported) WIN32S environment, which is notoriously unstable and doesn't provide full Win32 compliance and using VFP 3, or switching all your systems to a Win32 platform like Win9x or WinNT to use a later version of VFP. This doesn't provide a realistic fix for the problem for most people, since it doesn't help if you don't have source code, or aren't experienced programmers with plenty of time to deal with the foibles of moving an app from FPW to VFP, especially where have a perfectly stable FPW app that you'd rather not break by porting it to VFP, and don't plan to extend in the future.
