I can succesfully minimize and receive messages from the menu that pops
up when my dialog based app is in the toolbar.  The commands about and
exit work great, and i receive the message to reopen the dialog.  After
receiving the message I receive a GPF (in release mode only), and it
appears to happen in the onpaint of the dialog.  Any suggestions?

First suggestion is to turn off compiler optimizations.  Its possible
something the compiler is doing is causing a problem.  If this is the
problem, then you need to narrow the cause by enabling the optimizations one
at a time until the error occurs.
