   Hi Martin!   
      
   06 Oct 2017 15:15, from Martin Foster -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    MF> That's interesting because just after the previous version(5.0.31) was   
    MF>  released, I found a major bug in the nodelist updater: if more than 5   
    MF>  consecutive nodediffs needed to be applied, OpenXP would crash. I   
    MF> passed  the bug report onto Gunter and he appeared to have fixed it,   
    MF> as I've had  no further problems with nodelist updating since his fix.   
    MF> Perhaps this  needs further investigation. Can you please post the   
    MF> output of the  following commands:   
    MF> ls -l ~/.openxp/fido   
    MF> ls -l ~/.openxp/files/NODEDIFF.*   
      
   I do not use nodediff.   
   I download complete nodelist and z2point lists.

   ................   
      
   I deleted all files in the files dir (many TICs and nodelists and pointlists).   
   I copied the latest nodelist and pointlist into fido.   
      
   When I started it complained about not finding the lists.   
   When I polled, it still shows the exact same behaviour:
