Subject: Creating logbook by copying an existing one crashes elog 
Hi,

Trying to create a new logbook from an existing one causes elog to crash.

output from DrMingw:
elogd.exe caused an Access Violation at location 00448c6e in module elogd.exe
Writing to location 6e206c65.

Registers:
eax=00240798 ebx=00000020 ecx=6e206c61 edx=00250088 esi=00000000 edi=69726500
eip=00448c6e esp=01c1a1d0 ebp=01c1a1f0 iopl=0 nv up ei ng nz ac po cy
cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=0038 gs=0000 efl=00000297

Call stack:
00448C6E elogd.exe:00448C6E
00445F17 elogd.exe:00445F17

as the service restarts elog the browser then displays:

"Cannot open file elog.pwd: No such file or directory
Please use your browser's back button to go back"

If you try and create a new logbook from scratch (i.e. not a copy) then the browser displays:

"Cannot open file elog.pwd: No such file or directory
Please use your browser's back button to go back"

In both cases the new logbook is created.

any ideas?
