I have recorded the figures you suggested for 037 & 038 in my machine from 2 different windows installations. WIN1 is my everyday setup and WIN2 is my real time setup.
PD version OS 1 OS 2 Comments
Pd 0.37 WIN1: 158 WIN2: 160 (with no libraries loaded)
pd 0.38.3 WIN1: 118 WIN2:18 (with all my libraries loaded)
the funny thing is that WIN2 is my real time set-up with no other stuff than pd installed (and vc++6). So it seems that ive been using the worst combination. greg.

Oh well, considering myself a Windows/PD developer, i'm still here... i can't say that i experienced that popup poppping up... but i'm using solely the devel branch - that is the place where i can fix things in time.
try these steps, as I just did a short while ago:
- boot windows
- run pd .38
- press ctrl-n
- keep it pressed as long as the number "x" increases in the "Untitled-x ..." title bar
- record the last value of "x"
- exit pd, if possible (or reboot windows)
- run pd .37
- repeat steps 3-5
I was able to open 41 windows in pd .38, and 152 in pd .37. That was in pure pd. Then I doubled the number of help submenu entries and pd .38 would open only 23 windows.
Certainly, there are some stupid limits, although I have no idea what imposes them. However, having hundreds of help files listed in a single menu, which barely scrolls in wish.exe, and does not scroll at all under linux, seems absurd, anyway.
