Thanks for the update. There are many programs named Eraser, do you know where I could find it or the name of the company that makes it or a keyword to search on?

I have had no further problems since I ceased running a daily late evening scheduled operation consisting of a wipe of various folders containing temporary files using Eraser.

Whether this operation accounted for the crashes I don’t know, as Eraser has never had that effect before, and typically ignores any file it finds to be in use.

Regards,

Nicholas

From exhibit NB1 to Nicholas Bohm's witness statement in COPA v Wright: his own export of his correspondence with Satoshi from Mozilla Thunderbird, filed in July 2023 and put online by decashed.eth in January 2025. The time is the one shown in Bohm's mail client (UK time), converted to UTC. The postal address and telephone numbers in Bohm's signature are omitted. The PDF dropped the letter pairs ti, tt, ft and fi in this email; they are restored.
