I would love to see WinEd made a little more stable, as it is my
favourite template editor. Currently using a Titanium, previously
RPi3 and Iyonix.

Mind you, it only occasionally crashes for me ... and in the Load ->
New -> Create Win -> Cancel scenario it 'only' creates 128 ZeroPain
logs here. menu_Show does seem implicated, when r14 is -1 , and an
LDM from r3 at &14 in steps up to &BEC fails.

But I maybe have the advantage of having v3.22a (Oct 2008) here!
I was feeding back issues and suggestions to Adam before he lost
interest, so it may be worth trying to contact hime if you have not
already tried.
