Yeah, it was something to do with [msgfile] crashing when it was asked to read from the disk. Not worth pursuing anyway, since this is a completely depricated version of Zexy (how frustrating!) I just replaced it with [text] and the problem is solved. I also
found that the same problem was occurring in another, much more important part of the patch, so I'm glad we spotted this now.
What other problems have you spotted? I'm eager for feedback!
