Thanks Bridger!
Indeed, I quit basexgui and manually edited .basexgui to set the project
directory to a newly created empty directory. basexgui seems normal/stable
after that.
I rarely, as in almost never, use wine but I didn't have this issue with
previous versions of BaseX. Something seems unexpected here.
