Peter,

It's an error caught by NS's C++ style try/catch exception handler. It
would appear to be having trouble loading a font. I suspect it's a defect
in the old 2.02 code. If I read the error message correctly, 2033 is
PMERR_HDC_BUSY which is:

PMERR_HDC_BUSY An internal device
context busy error was
detected. The device
context was locked
by one thread during an
attempt to access
it from another thread.

Reading between the lines, I'd say somebody forgot to lock a critical
resource.

Steven
