Code 400 ate my program

Same happenend here twice!

At first, I though it had something to do with having loaded a program in
Code/400 over midday-break.  When I went back and saved the source, I got
the same type of error (not sure about the number).  Result: source lost,
we had to retrieve the backup version.  Luckely the changes were minor...

Last week, it happened again.  This time I was working on the code, went
for a coffee and when I came back and saved my source, I got the error
again.  Result, source lost!  This time I lost 3 hours work!  I found a
temp-version on my PC but still, a lot of work was lost.

btw, I noticed that the source on the AS400 was (almost) exactly cut in 2.
First crash: approx. 2400 sourcelines, approx. 1200 left
Second crash: approx. 4300 sourcelines, approx. 2150 left

I tried to check what has changed on both PC and AS400 because it never
happened before.  The only thing I could trace is that the 'connection time
out' for AS400-folders were changed to 10min. iso 2 hours.  We changed it
back to 1Hour and awaiting if it happens again.

anybody else having this behaviour?

Okay, this has now happened twice and I'm not too happy about it.

On a save of an updated RPGLE member, I got an unknown return code message
(I believe it was 65514?) and it lost about half my 6000 line service
program.

Code/400 v5r1 sp4 on win2k to os/400 v5r1.

This happened once before, on SP3, and I wrote it off as an anomaly.  Now
it's a bug.

What do we need to do to get this fixed?
