I had the same problem running DOS 6.2 on my 486DX/33. I think it is
related to having a packet spot arrive while inputting log data from the
keyboard and/or writing a QSO to disk (after hitting ENTER). Seems as if
the spots and the keyboard input were colliding.
Other hiccup noted was that the prompt to enter frequency of a station (my
xcvr is not interfaceable, if that's a word) came up every time I tried to
dupe a station that was, in fact, a dupe -- is this by design? Can it be
turned off? I also noted that it seemed to turn itself off sometimes.
Something odd, but couldn't isolate it because of frequent reboots.
