An application will stop responding (hang) if you print to a file with a
comma in its file or directory name. 32-bit applications such as Notepad
hang and cannot be ended from Task Manager. 16-bit applications such as
Write hang. If you end them with Task Manager, the entire Windows-on-
Windows (WOW) subsystem will be terminated. However, the hanging 16-bit
application will not terminate.
