Details:

Hi,

thanks to the major construction works in the vincinity we experienced
another power outage last night.  Unfortunately, this also meant that MLD was
shut down uncleanly.  

What this report/request is about is that it wiped out all *.ini files from
/home/mldonkey and /home/mldonkey/oldconfig in the process.  I guess I do not
have to tell you that getting MLD back running will be a major pain (all
prios, configs, etc.).  Fortunately, I do have backups from a couple of days
ago.  Everything changed in the meantime will of course be lost and I will
have to spend some time on fixing things up.

My request is: Please make MLD handle such a crash more elegantly.  It should
not wipe everything out.

Regards and keep up the good work

Rolf
