Arev Release on Winframe 1.7 (AREV Specific)

To all who may be able to help,
We are running Arev on a Novell 3.12 server with remote and local users accessing through Winframe 1.7 servers. We are having an intermittent problem with Arev not releasing upon exit. The user will exit and just before Arev releases it hangs on a screen stating "Logged off at (whatever time)". The problem comes into play when a print job starts to spool. This will spool until you force a "end task" of this screen. After forcing the "end task" the job finishes spooling and prints multiple pages of this log off screen. I have seen jobs as large as 45 MB, if you don't catch it right away. At the same time this sends our Processor Utilization through the roof.(Go figure)
We have the Arevfix applied along with Service Pack 5b from Citrix and the DosKeyboard command within the pif file running Arev.exe.
If anyone has any suggestions for this hangup, I would greatly appreciate it.

Is this problem experienced by local users as well or is it limited only to users going through the Winframe Servers?
You can also try changing your print settings, by disabling spooling and making it print directly to the printer.
If you are running AREV by double-clicking on a shortcut, try shelling to a DOS prompt and running the program through there and then give the print command, while you exit the program - This is more like a diagnostic step, to see if the application behaves in the same way, when run from DOS.
Finally, what kind of printer and print drivers are you using?
