[WriteLog] Writelog tcpip bug in latest patch

This happened to us, too. But it did not happen every one or two hours,
but only sometimes. And only at the station with the lowest CPU Power (PII-300),
especially when the machine recoonected to the network or when another
machine after restart of writelog reconnected to this station.
Seems as if TCP/IP communication puts or pulls the log quite fast
and the cpu could not handle merging 1000 or more qsos...
We let the station be with the "Switch To" window and clicket it
away after some minutes. Mostly it resumed operation normally.

Network has been 2x Win2K, 1x WinXP and 1xWinME (this has been the
PII-300). We used 10.50D with the TCP/IP Patch on all Stations.

Happened twice or three time to us. We needed to reboot the ME.

Same here. Nearly every time after Writelog restarts.

Would be greatly appreciated.
