Actually, it totally depends on your station configuration. If you only 
enter M/2 and your station #1 will be RUN1 for the rest of your life, 
then configure it as RUN1, and use the sticky setting. Apply the same 
for RUN2. If, like in most of the stations, the RUN1, the operating 
positions are changing their status according to the band, the QSYs 
etc., they change their status "on the fly" and do not use the sticky 
setting.

WT has been designed to reduce the op. constrainsts at most. It means 
that the only cases where a validity check is performed is when a field 
is empty (and it is not supposed to be), and when a *very minimalist* 
callsign check fails. For some contests, the exchange field(s) are 
checked against lists (ARRL contest, DX-side for example), and invalid 
exchanges are just tagged with a "?" in the flags area (but accepted to 
not slowdown the operator). He (or one of his partner) can modify it later.

I will let Olivier answer on that, but I personnaly don't use such 
memory dumps. I rather prefer a step-by-step procedure to reproduce the 
bug (assuming it is not HW dependant).
