- Yes, I have an article in my transactor magazine which actually
- demonstrates this bug. Never tried the program though but it seems
- to prove that there is a bug with the save and replace feature.
- Apparently, if you let this thing run long enough, all the files
- in the directory get cross linked and eventually all point to one
- file. Quite a mess to fix up!
