Thanks for the quick reply, Pascal. Since there is no "windows_no_setup"
version yet, I can't test it here. I will download and compile the new version
in the next couple of days and let you know if the problem still exists. Note,
that I can import the pgn without errors. The error shows up when I try to
"Save, Replace Game".
Thanks again for your help and I will let you know the results.
Best regards,
Cory

The 3.6.15rc1 version available at my site fixes this (at least it can
import the attached game).
Note that it is always possible to make a game that can't be imported
(for example insert a 1 MB comment). This is due to the fact that some
buffers are statically sized. I increased the limits, and I hope this
will be ok for all "normal" games.
