Im baffled.
You are not alone. I frequently get problems with qeynos and qeynos2. not confirmed yet I think what triggers it is that you try to first do a zoneline and you crash. Then you try to get around the zoneline problem by doing #zone.

Here is what I think is happening ( a guess :
1. zoneline movement causes a crash; to clear this the machine has to be reboot. restarting the server is not enough

2. #zone won't cause a problem between q and q2 if you just do #zone and never try a zoneline movement between q and 2.

There is nothing wrong with the qeynos files, but when a Windows machine crashes, even if it keeps going, the crash will have other effects and software will continue to crash. It's a bad, bad Windows design.

I will try this out later this weekend and confirm that case 1 & 2 are true -- or not.

I went to test this out with a new boot up of the servers. Entered s qeynos and did #zone qeynos2 and immedately crashed. So my best gues s was disproved.
