That is a different issue, the problem Neil is seeing is specific to the 
station details table and is not settings related.

OK, running different instances even if the versions are different is 
not going to work well, you are doing the right thing to use different 
--rig-name options to isolate the user files. The settings file is safe 
for multiple processes to access but since there is no communication 
about which process has priority on a setting the last one to change a 
value will set the saved value for all.

Version 1.5 introduces a lock file to warn about multiple instances 
without unique --rig-name values, you should have been getting a warning 
pop up message when trying to run the v1.5 and the v1.6 concurrently 
with no --rig-name option.
