FOLLOW-UP:
I thought I had traced the problem to the "kvasd.exe" program that was
installed at:
C:\WSJT\wsjtx\bin\kvasd.exe
Trying to open it as admin, I received an error saying that the program was
not registered. Hmmm. That's funny. I then took steps to register it,
and received a new error saying that the application was corrupt.
That was all I needed to see. I backed up my important WSJT-X files, then
re-installed WSJT-X v1.4.0-rc3 r4633 from scratch on top of the old install
(didn't bother to uninstall).
All ran exceptionally well for over 24 hours. Then, while on 24.917,
things happened again. This time I observed that the error message in the
Band Activity window occurred while WSJT-X was attempting to decode and
extremely strong JT65 signal (-01 is the limit, but the Wide Graph display
showed that if there was no limit, the signal would have been + double
digits).
The error message also changed a little. It now read:
"Error in KV decoder, or no KV decoder present. -107"
Additionally, decoding came to a halt about 4 minute-cycles later, with
the "Decode" button constantly illuminated. No combination of "points &
clicks" would bring WSJT-X out of its coma, save shutting it down and
restarting it. Once restarted, decoding returned to normal, except when
the huge -01 signal was present. Then a single decode would have two error
messages generated, the decoded message, then four more error messages
displayed.
These error messages did not have the "-107" but now the pop-up window
exclaiming: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process." returned.
Will try complete reinstall after complete uninstall.
Onward and upward, 73
