What are those little boxes that appear in Mobhack

It's probably a bug - but never anything I could actually track down (e.g. a memory leak).

I find that nothing happens (in terms of either data errors or the programme blowing up) if you ignore them (I tested that out many years back), but usually I close a Mobhack session when they show and restart. Just to be sure.

Of course, if anyone out there has a guaranteed "do this, that and then the other" recipe to get them to appear with 100% reliability, then I am all ears. It's probably related to Delphi's string handling as a WAG.
