Script crashing from _Timer_SetTimer()

[wraithdu 71]

This script crashes (freezes) once the timer is triggered. However if I convert it to use $WM_TIMER events it works correctly. I have no idea why it's crashing, anyone else have an idea? To use it, run the script in a directory with some JPG images, and mouseover a displayed thumbnail.
