[WriteLog] Irritating diagnostic

[John Elsik]

Well I can not help with the can't create stuff but....

There seems to be a bug in this latest version with the packet window not closing.

I have found that if I go ahead and start a telnet session, say log onto K1TTT.net, then everything will close no problem.  If I do not do anything with packet it will not close out. If the last contest used packet, and I am setting up for a contest with no packet, then I go ahead and start a telnet session, set everything else up, then uncheck packet in the save configuration.  Close and reopen the contest and of course the packet window is no longer an issue.

Pain in the butt, but it is my work around
