WTFPatch - A patch for the Intuition bug in WindowToFront.
Version - 5
Copyright - Copyright (c) by David Jenkins, 28th April 1990,
I can be reached at Bloom Beacon 416-283-5924.

Version 5 changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a task was running at 100% CPU and another task did
a WindowToFront, Intuition would appear to stop responding to
mouse clicks. This is fixed in version 5 of the patch.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~
WTFPatch5 corrects the bug in Intuition's WindowToFront
and WindowToBack routines. The bug causes the machine to freeze when
a window pops to the front while the user is moving an icon.
The patch works by making Intuition drop all icons before
performing the WindowToFront/Back.
The patch is installed by copying it to your c: directory and
including a 'WTFPatch5' statement in your start-up sequence. Make
sure you remove any reference to the previous version of the
patch (they should not be run together).
David Jenkins.
