About wimpslots. I had a strange error depending on the 'next slot'. 
maybe it's related.

I have writen a small program in C that copies the directory it is in 
to a backup directory (but only one's a day). This program uses an 
OS_CLI COPY command with the correct parameters. I have used it for 
month on my Risc PC. At the moment I develop a program on an Iyonix so 
I copied it to it's harddisk. If I run the program (in the same, 
copied, directory as on the Risc PC) it crashes with a 'Diskerror at 
...' Very scary. I have to reset the machine because it locks on disk 
access. Checking the disk gives no errors but the source directory is 
only copied partialy.

Strang part is that if I increase the next slot to say 40 MB, there is 
no error. (The next slot on the Risc PC is smaller then on the Iyonix).
