An idea on how to attack back at 'runaway' general tasks

[Michael Pokraka]

Indeed, it's the quiet ones that you've got to watch out for!

Just thought I might throw in another variation of the same theme: The same
check on RH_WI_AGENTS_GET can also be done if the client happens to run a
custom RSWUWFML. Neither method is foolproof as they rely on nobody reserving
the item in between runs/logons, but having used the RSWUWFML it seemed to
catch most of them. 

Cheers
Mike
