Debug VB DLL passback

I am attempting to display data from a DLL written in VC 6 to an application written in VB6. To do this I have used a callback function to simply pass a string of text back to the VB application, which then appends the string to a rich text box in a form. Unfortunately this seems to have some issues, in that when I start clicking around the MDI form, or bring another window on my pc into focus the Data passing application will sometimes crash. I push a line of text onto a string in VB, from the DLL from inside a while loop that has a Sleep(1) in it, and then append the data every clock cycle of the VB. I don't want to have the DLL call an append command directly, because I want it to be running as fast as possible. I have made a stripped down version of my project and put it into a zip file. There is a VB folder and a DLL folder. The data passing display window is displayed below the control window. To start the data passing the user can just press GO, and STOP stops the data passing. There is a sample data file in the vb folder called [login to view URL] that I use as my test data file. The program will prompt you for it the first time you press GO. As stated above the text starts streaming out onto the display window, but if I start clicking around a lot or switching to other windows it will eventually crash. If anyone can figure out how to make this more reliable I would really appreciate it.
