[Fwd: Re: [Quickfix-developers] stopping initiator hangs application]

[tony w. <ton...@ya...>]

Oren,

I recently switched to calling logout before stop, thinking this was a
cleaner method.  I will switch back to just calling stop.

Unfortunately I'm using the Express Editions of VS, which doesn't allow
me to compile quickfix, due to a atlthunk.lib issue, it seems I need a
full copy of VS to compile quickfix.  Due to this I can not step into
the debugger to find out where exactly it is hanging inside of quickfix.
  The only thing I can currently see is that it hangs when I call stop.
