Eww.  The spec I'm leaning towards is to be able to
run long-term and stable, with several thousand DDE
calls per day.

I wonder if it's Python that loses it or DDE itself. 
I recall finding a bug WAYYYY back when in the early
DDE implementation.  StdDde.c used a linked list of
topics, and IIRC deleting a topic had a bug in it that
would delete the desired node WITHOUT reattaching the
prev node to the next node.  This has probably changed
since then; this was in my early coding days working
with MFC 2.x.

Any thoughts?  Who is the author, Mark Hammond?

Thanks,
