Bug - Cannot Reproduce Lost Preferences - Reset to Default

I have now had this happen on at least 3 chars, 1 a long time ago and 2 within the last few days. There is no debug log generated, but when I log in, my character doesn't know all their skills, etc. All choice adventures are reset to the defaults. My CCS is no longer selected.

Maybe the top of the startup output in the gCLI might be helpful. I was using daily build 8365 when it happened this time.

How do you normally exit the program?

In the one case where we've been able to identify an actual cause for lost preferences, the user was in the habit of closing the main window while a logout was in progress, thus forcing the program to exit immediately. That would occasionally interrupt the process of writing out the preferences file.
