I hope it can be fixed.

The problem seems to be that when the OS was short on memory it killed ScreenDim to save memory. And then the OS realized ScreenDim was supposed to still run so it restarted it five seconds later.

Try 1.05 beta4 which tells the OS it's a foreground application that shouldn't be killed unless the OS is really desperate. That should help.
