Hi, I have the following problem:

The following call suddenly causes the script to run infinetely:

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "wscript.exe " &
Wscript.ScriptFullName

It seems it calls the script over and over, but there is only one instance
of wscript.exe running in Task Manager. However, I can see from the cpu
utilization and mouse pointer that the system is busy.

I have been using the script in which I use this for ages and it always
worked. Whats going on here?

Please see the following example of how I use the call:

--------------
Option Explicit

Main
Wscript.Quit 0

Sub Main()

If Instr(1, Wscript.FullName, "cscript", 1) = 0 Then
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "wscript.exe " &
Wscript.ScriptFullName
Wscript.Quit
End If

End Sub
---------------

This used to work and i did not modify anything!

Regards,
Tom
