I've seen this problem for many years, on various platforms and
versions of RISC OS (but fortunately rarely). I see it whilst
using Virtual-RPC RO 4.02 so its nothing to do with Iyonix 5.18
although its possible that something in it is triggering the
Flier crash more often.

Sometimes, the crash may be triggered by accidentally hitting
the Enter key with focus probably not on any app window.
I've investigated it but never found the problem and I 've
never found a solution other than to reboot. Perhaps if
more people can do some investigation we might get some clues
as to what is going on.
