[Dx4win] More on Isolating Cause of Alt-S crashes

[Cliff Ahrens - K0CA]

I've done some troubleshooting to try to help Paul isolate a "pattern" of
crashes when using Alt-S save, since he indicated that after modifying some
code, the issue seemed to be resolved in the beta testing.  I have
discovered that DX4WIN consistently crashes if I attempt to do an Alt-S save
BEFORE doing a menu save using File/Save.  If I first save through the menu,
then Alt-S will not crash DX4WIN on repeated subsequent saves.

In response to Guy ON4AOI's post about it only crashing under Windows 2000
and Windows XP Home Edition, I am running Windows XP Pro (not Home Edition)
with all updates on a Dell 2.40 GHz machine with 512 MB RAM, using NTFS file
system.  I definitely have the under WinXP Pro.

I have tried disabling antivirus, backup programs, messenging, and other
programs and processes running in the background, and that has not resolved
the crashing.  I have also tried closing DX4WIN windows, including World
Map, packet spots, sunrise/sunset, logbook, and country, zone, and state
statistics.  Still the program consistently crashes when I do an Alt-S
before doing a menu Save using the drop-down menu.  If I do one menu Save,
then repeated Alt-S saves work as designed.

I hope this helps Paul isolate the cause, and in the meantime, maybe others
who have observed this issue can see if first doing the menu Save will avoid
Alt-S crashes on their machines as well.
