In the newest OS I think I have sorted out all memory destruction problems
but one. It is in tables - when the table data is corrupt (which it never
should be) and is tried to be displayed. So if you see strange characters
in table editing - don't scroll down. Fill the whole table with emptiness 
by pressing return (D) lot's of times (64 will do in any case).

In no other ocations should the SidStation memory be possible to corrupt.
If you know any other time it has happened - let me know and I'll try to
find the cause of it.
