I have developed an application using VC 7.1.
In this application a call to CFileDialog::DoModal() causes the application
to hang and never return.
It happens on random machines. I have tested it on different machines and it
doesn't hang on some of the machines but it hangs on others.

After debugging I've found that the application hangs on a call to
GetSaveFileName() function within the DoModal function.

What is the reason for it and whats the work around?

Thanks,
Faisal
