A funny has developed with networking here but there is an earlier funny in the 
process that has drawn itself to my attention.

First I have today completely rebuilt a new Ubuntu 17.10 partition and 
installed a fresh version of RPCEmu 0.8.102.  This runs on VirtualBox Version 
5.2.8 r121009 (Qt5.6.3) on my Mac with Mac OS 10.13.3.  The error below is 
repeatable.

RPCEmu starts up OK (as long as I remember to do the right things in the right 
order) and the Fatal Error only appears when I use the RISC OS shutdown 
facility.  There is no error when I click on File > Reset on the top Menu for 
RPCEmu.  Nor is there an error when I clock on the Close button at the top 
right of the RPCEmu window.

To get the fatal error here:
1. Click Menu on cog on iconbar at bottom right,
2. Click on Shutdown, and wait for the RISC OS window to clear,
3. Then click on Restart.

An Error box appears showing:
  RPCEmu Fatal Error
  Bad PC fc00 1000 fc00 1000

The same error content is put into the Terminal window.

Then on trying to restart RPCEmu (from Terminal):
1. It does not Boot, it just brings up a RISC OS command line with a message 
about *Desktop.
2. *Status shows that filesystem has reverted to ADFS.
3. So I reconfigure filesystem to hostfs.
4. If the RPCEmu Settings menu > File > Reset is done, system boots up OK.

Is this serious?

Is there any way round it?

I can provide a copy of the rpclog.  (Here?  Appended?)
