I have Rom 3, and I still have learned not to trust GSHK very far.

I probably should sent a bug report, because this seems to be happening
with every version I get of GSHK.

Namely, it seems like the quit routine is flaky. Somehow, whenever I
try to quit normally from that program, there's a 50-50 chance it will
crash. Not only will it crash, but it will wipe out the Ramdisk as well.
I've had a couple times I've downloaded something into Ramdisk, used
GSHK to unshrink it into Ramdisk, and quitted, only to have the system
reboot and wipe out both the archive and the unpacked files.

These days I often just give the three-fingered salute to get out of GSHK.
The ramdisk doesn't get blown that way.
