I have resisted making a report about this since I have no idea how to reproduce it. However it has happened to others and I suspect the only way to track it down is from incomplete reports and discussion, so this is a place for that.
The symptom is that mafia starts up for a character and it has clearly loaded the preferences file for a different character. I noticed this because the MRUScripts menu contained scripts that I had never run for a particular character. Subsequent investigation showed mafia thought the running character had never ascended which was not true, but was true of the other character.
I saw this last week although I don't remember which computer it happened on. Both machines have Windows 7 running a flavor of Java 1.6. I do use Dropbox to synchronize mafia directories between the computers. While it might be a factor now, it wasn't when something similar happened several years ago.
I never run two instances of KoLmafia simultaneously and always logout and exit between characters. Thus it is unlikely that there is some leakage because the characters are running in the same instance of a Java VM.
