The same thing happened to me several years ago. I didn't want to chase the
bug, so I edited main.c and added:

	&& !sdot(p)

to the list of removal conditions in the intrupt() routine. For those without
sources, 'sdot(p)' checks if 'p' is an 's.' file.

I wonder how many flames will cross the Atlantic... -:)
