None that I know of.  I do bulk lookups all the time, one to two
hundred at a time.  I've never had a problem.

Did the problem resolve itself?

I do know that the QRZ XML protocol issues the searcher a one-time
session ID key that needs to be used for the lookups.  I assume that
DX4WIN keeps using the same session ID each time, but I imagine that
if you go slow enough, the session key could expire, in which case
lookups would stop working.  I do not know what DX4WIN does if this
happens, if it detects that the key expired and requests a new one.
