Image transition filters cause Ie to freeze after a while



Hi,
I have been plagged by this bug for a month. I think I have tried
everything I could think about with no success.
I have an application executable that controls 9 IE browsers in 9
different threads. Each of these browsers is a simple slide show with
a transition image effect (same HTML page for each browser)
The application runs in XP SP2 with IE 6.0
After a random time (30 min to 8 hours) each IE browser slows down to
finally stall and freeze.

------------------------------------

Here is the main piece of code :

var NextImage = new Image();
document.getElementById
("myImg").style.filter="progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Iris
(irisstyle='SQUARE', motion='in',duration=1)";

function ApplyFilter(NextImage)
{
if (document.getElementById("myImg").filters.length > 0)
document.getElementById("myImg").filters[0].apply();
document.getElementById("myImg").src = NextImage.src;
if (document.getElementById(sFils).filters.length > 0)
document.getElementById("myImg").filters[0].play();
}


function ChangeImage(sPath)
{
NextImage .src = sPath;
//call ApplyFilter after complete load of the image
}


---------------------------------
Note :
- ChangeImage is called every 7 second for every browser
- If I comment apply() and play() lines of ApplyFilter() function,
the bug does not occur
- The bug apperently does not occur on Vista or IE7.
- After the freeze, if I use processXP on my executable, i can see
that 60 dxtrans.dll !! are loaded (I have only 9 browsers object with
one active filter each)

I havn't found any solution. I need some help, please.

Thanks for your time,
Best Regards,
Patrice
