I hate to be the bearer of bad news,   ..but right after NODEDIFF.Z45  
arrived, it locked up, again!  :(

Here are the details:

  ..and promptly locked up at this point.

After another poll a few minutes later, this happens:

  ..and promptly locks up.


The ONLY way I could prevent the lock up happening with the next normal
poll was by making sure I delete the .TIC file:  0ss71rpr.tic

  ..which contained:

  Created by HTick, written by Gabriel Plutzar
  File NODEDIFF.Z45
  Area NODEDIFZ
  Areadesc FidoNet Z2 NodeDiffs (ZIP)

  ..etc, etc, etc..


The new updated nodelist number in oxp looks good:

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
Ý Z2PNT.###     038  Z2PNT_D.###   Z2PNT_D.Z##   Diff  FD Pointlist    Ý
Ý NODELIST.###  045  NODEDIFF.###  NODEDIFF.Z##  Diff  Nodelist        Ý
Ý                                                                      Ý


The top few lines of NODELIST.045 look like:

;A FidoNet Nodelist for Friday, February 14, 2020 -- Day number 045 : 12455
;Aú
;A  MakeNL 3.4.5 (Win32)ú
;Aú
;A The FidoNet NodeList, a listing of the systems within FidoNet.ú
;Aú
;A  This is the nodelist produced at 2:2/0ú


SEE?   So.. the .TIC file in /FILES *could* be a problem.

Therefore, maybe I should disable "THIS" below?:

+- Fido Options ---------------------------------+
Ý                                                Ý
Ý  Int. dial prefix    00                        Ý
Ý  Nat. dial prefix    0                         Ý
Ý  Your dialing code   49-631                    Ý
Ý                                                Ý
Ý   [x]   Import nodelist updates automatically  Ý
Ý   [ ]   Delete empty messages                  Ý
Ý   [x]   Automatic TIC file processing          Ý<==THIS?
Ý   [x]   Hold requests if files are missing     Ý

Maybe the system is trying to create "Area NODEDIFZ" and is failing?  Bug?
