I've had similar problems when trying to refresh a free object after an alert.
My solution was to call fl_winset with the 'Window' value of the form from
which I called the alert. This stopped my problem and doesn't seem to have any adverse effects.
In debugging the above problem, I found that even though the alert had returned,
the Window XID of the alert was still being returned in fl_winget.
