Utorrent in System Tray and ObjectDock 1.9b Plus

I am using Vista x64 Ultimate with ObjectDock 1.9beta build 537u and everything mostly works. I am running my sytem tray inside a dock, and sometimes uTorrent will completely freeze my system while using the system tray.

Normally, when I start uTorrent, I have it selected to go to the system tray and automatically minimize - this works without issue. If I then open uTorrent and re-minimize back to the system tray, it can then crash Vista and ObjectDock - the computer will completely freeze except I can still access Task Manager by pressing ctrl-alt-del. This doesn't happen everytime I minimize uTorrent but has occurred at least 3 times over the last 3 days. The only work around I have now is to not let uTorrent go to the system tray when minimized, but since I often have uTorrent running in the background, I would prefer it in the system tray.

I have Itunes also set up to go to the system tray when minimized - it hasn't crashed ObjectDock yet.

Do you have the system tray enabled on the dock or on Vista? Or does it matter?

If you are sending it to the dock with the tray and bar hidden does it crash immediately?

I have the system tray enabled in a dock. The original tray and taskbar are all hidden/inactive while Objectdock is running. I have not tried it with the original taskbar still enabled - I suspect it is due to the system tray being in a dock, and the original system tray wont cause any problems. I will test that out when I get home later.

When I load uTorrent, it immediately goes to the taskbar (in a minimized state) and never causes the system to hang. Only when I bring uTorrent up and re-minimize does it cause the freeze. However, it doesn't always happen.

This has happened to me in the normal system tray. I don't think it has anything to do with the tray being in the dock...

When I tried without the system tray in a dock, it didn't crash for me, but I didnt test it for too long.

Back to the system tray in a dock:
When the program does freeze, sometimes it lets me continue and everything works fine - I can even maximize and minimize an unlimited number of times without crashing. However, the majority of the time it freezes my system and I have to use task manager to log out to continue using my computer.

I was able to replicate this to a degree. I let the developers know about this.
