Crash on quit, with corruption of ZTW.HST   [Zeta]

I don’t think I’ve been doing anything really out of the ordinary in that instance, but when I [Q]uit it, I got the Windows ‘program has crashed’ window, which I dismissed.

I then tried restarting ZTreeWin, but that warns about corruption of ZTW.HST:

Error: Unrecognized command history item read from [C:\MC\Run\Util\ZTree\ZTW.HST]!
[]
Press [Enter] to continue...


Looking at it, there seems to be a problem after the last PN=... line, which is followed by ‘PS’ with a NUL character, and then a seemingly normal ps=... entry again.

I’ve removed the PS<NUL> line using Notepad++ and saved it, pressed Enter in ZTreeWin, and it continued its startup without a hitch.

One thing I find interesting, is that the last correct line, PN=..., was new from that session, while the preceding pn=... line was from a much older session.

If you’re interested, I’ve got the following files available for debugging purposes:
* The ZTW.INI from before that instance started
* The original ZTW.HST from before that instance started
* The corrupted ZTW.HST from after the crash
* The zkeys.log from that session’s ZTMP004 directory

And here’s the logging my ‘ZTWatch’ utility reported:
