Ok, this was a misunderstanding, the database is not lost. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this problem with the pattern "8.f4, 8.0-0". It's only a string, and the application normally don't cares about the content of the string. By the way: I will try to solve this problem with the crash. It's in fact a result of stack back-tracing after an exception is thrown, normally the application should show an error message instead. With older compiler versions this works fine, but with newer versions something has changed with the stack format, and the back-tracing is not working properly anymore, sometimes (but not every time) it is crashing. This is very annoying, because stack back-tracing is a basic debugging technique. And I cannot find any information in the Internet about this problem. Anybody else who knows something about this?
