Shell_NotifyIcon problem

I use the tray icon to place our application icon in, all works nice and lovely, however, from time to time, if you leave the station long enough, NT gets crazy and starts to behave in an erratic way
like the old days of win 3.1 when you ran out of resources and icons and graphics started to dissapear.

my problem is that it only happens once in a while (hence a bug :-) ) and if i remove the tray icon code from our app it works 100% relaiable.

Did anyone encounter this problem ?
the only reason i can see is that i use timers to animate the icon there, but when the bug happens, there are no timer triggered off,
help would be appreciated


thanx, yoav zilberberg
