[Maser, Dan]

Excellent ideas, thanks.  I'll go add those right now.

I never rely on events for debugging :)
Try overriding CreateHandle and print a stack trace from there (remember to call the base class as well).
You can also override WndProc and watch out for WM_CREATE (0x1) and WM_DESTROY (0x2).

And just before doing:
form.MdiParent = theParent;

Do this:
Console.WriteLine (form.IsHandleCreated) Which will tell you if the handle has already been created or not.
