[WriteLog] Makrothen Crash

[Dean St. Hill]

Could I suggest that you look in your writelog "contest" directory and find
the *.mdmp files - these should contain valuable information about the
situation when the crash occurred.

The files are named Writelog.12.xxY.mdmp - where xxY represents the build
like 12.08C or 12.07H oe 12.09F  - this number corresponds to the installer
zip file you used during the upgrade to latest version.

If you ciould zip the file and forward to Wayne W5XD with a short
explanation that could move the solution along as Wayne will be able to
quickly determine the nature of the problem and suggest a possible fix. If
he is not aware of the specifics getting a fix remains a far way off.

I had a problem with crashing when I exited the programme and he was able
to implement a fix based on the info he decoded from the file - it was a
windows problem but he reated a WL work-around which I believe was
subsequently implemented in newer versions of WL.
