FONTCREATE bombed on me today with an UNPACKFILENAME': ILLEGAL ARG.  Perfectly valid args were passed to FONTCREATE, but FONTCREATE tried to open a file whose name  was (Halasz.PA , "\':%%- +") which appears to be my password entry.'
'
When I retried the FONTCREATE all worked fine.  The first time (i.e., the time FONTCREATE crashed) I was running a LISTFILES in the background with SINGLEFILEINDEX loaded.'
