Matt,
Important: make sure it's VFP6 SP5 - many vfp mtdll problems fixed with that SP.
Check out message#627606 from Mike Stewart of Microsoft. He regularly tests VFP mtdlls on a 4 processor machine.
There's a little about multi-processor with VFP mtdlls here:
http://www.activevfp.com/dev/dna08.htm
The MS stress tool is easy to use. you should be able to approximate what they're doing and identify problem areas...

>3. I can't tell at the moment if this is a bug in Windows, IIS, the Oracle ODBC Driver, my DLL or the VFP runtime library.
