	I have found a little consistency in WHEN this happens.  Some
PD programs (such as Hack) will crash if they are trying to find a file
that does not exist.  When I accidentally removed all my Hack icons,
the program would crash all the way back to Kickstart every time I tried
to Save my game.  Hack couldn't find an icon for my type of character.
