[ct-user] crash with WRITELOG

[Hank Kohl K8DD]

I had the same thing on a Dell2650/WinXP pro/CTwin 990-007. Crashed
every time I did a WRITELOG.

Since you only need a Dupe sheet, do a WRITEDUPE and if you want a
summary sheet, do a WRITESUM.
The dupe sheets are all you need to send in witht he FD entry sheet you
can download from arrl.org.
