[WT-support] WT 4.18 new bugs

[gt-i at gmx.net]

Bob,
thanks tor taking care about my issues!
Regarding the bandmap, I checkled of course the entries DXCC versus 
zones. It happened on 80m and it showed 37 new Zones! This actually was 
the number of new QSOs, not even new DXCC.

Regarding the Close-Problem: it also happened yesterday doing the 
following:
WinTest is open and shows an active log.
Using File->Open I'm trying to load a new log. Then WT stops, the screen 
goes blank and there is no chance to kill it using the taksmanager. 
Please note I have not changed my Hardware. I'm using USB serial 
adapters, the u2r. No Recording at all.

I searched how to kill such a process and found:
taskkill /f /PID <pid> (look up the pid in the taksmanager)
which works and reports the task would have been killed, but WT was 
still there as a zombie.
In that case they say it must be a buggy driver. But I'm not aware of 
any driver I have changed at the same time.
I'll try to check if any of the USB adapters need updates.
