I caught this post and was about to make one similar, so I’ll jump into the 
thread.

Two times in one week, I had what seemed to be a repeatable crash.  I’ve only 
done it twice, so can’t guarantee duplication at this time.  Running RC4 since 
it came out.

Except during poor weather conditions, where I might expect lightning, I leave 
the rig running 24/7 and almost always monitoring an active band.  During the 
day, it is on 10 meters, since it is open daily now, and at night, it monitors 
17 meters because it has activity on it almost all night.  There are 
exceptions, of course.  Between those times, I may have it on 15 (seldom) or 12 
meters.

In both of the recent cases, I had gotten up in the morning and monitored the 
mentioned upper bands and gotten on the air about mid-morning.  I’ve been doing 
around 1-2 contacts per minute lately (FT4), and have fun keeping it going with 
no breaks.  Sometime after maybe 10am (after a few hours of on air operation), 
the program just closed unceremoniously.  In both cases, I was running a string 
of rapid contacts.

Computer is an I7 with 24gig of memory, Win 10.  Two browser copies open, with 
5 or 6 tabs open in each.  RF is not an issue.  

Logging software is RumLog, running separately on a Mac.

Prior to this period, I had never had this sort of un-commanded shutdown, even 
in RC1, 2, or 3.  I had to use task manager to get rid of jt9.exe.  Restarting 
WSJT-X after that brought things back to normal again as far as I know.  WSJT-X 
is restarted now and then when things settle down, just on principle.
