Well that MIGHT be because you have a "quit" command in the Close
handler of another window. So this would happen:

1) User selects Quit. App tries to close all windows.
2) One window fires a second "quit" command from the "Close" handler
3) Another window refuses to close (ie. returns True from CancelClose)
4) The (first) quit command is cancelled because of the no-close window.
5) The app starts to process the second "quit" command.
6) Repeat and fade...

Cheers,
