MORE INFORMATION
A terminate deadlock situation occurs when DDEML times out while

If DDEML does not receive a response within the set period of time, it brings up the message box to allow the user to choose to either quit, wait longer, or wait indefinitely. This was done to work around a problem in Windows 3.0 where the system locks up if an application attempts to post a message to a non-existent window, and to allow the user to save his work.
