It there aren't either the transfer dialog is trying to run more than one instance (count > 1) or the the handler is already disconnected (count == 0).

OK, I just did another batch of CC statements, being extra careful about 
*Cancel*ing the pesky transfer dialog windows, including checking underneath 
the account window.  No crashes... Can these dialogs be disabled?
