upset is not supposed to just corrupt a setup.ini file if a setup.hint
file is missing a quote. I identified the problem an hour and a half
ago and have been trying, amidst meetings, to fix the problem in upset
that caused this to be undetected. I was just puzzling over why things
changed after a current debug run and it occurred to me to look at the
posh/setup.hint.
How frustrating.
I appreciate that you are trying to help but I didn't ask anyone to
track this down for me. If I wanted help I would have said "I need
help".
Since setup.ini file generation is currently turned off you can't
actually do anything to fix this problem anyway.
