Problem conclusion
Shared memory for emulation was creating two threads for debug purposes. In certain environment where PCOMM's shared memory emulation is used by non-PCOMM processes, these threads can lead to a hang in PCOMM sessions. PCSWLIB.DLL has been changed to no longer create these threads. Fix scheduled to be available in PCOM 5.9.7 Manufacturing Refresh Fix scheduled to be available in PCOM 6.0.1 Manufacturing Refresh
