Goto crashes

Laren Dart Sep 5, 2005

When I type "Horsehead Nebula" into "Goto|object name" I get Guide6 MFC
crashes in ntdll.dll. Goto works if I use "Nebula|Common name" and click on
Horsehead Nebula. I tried several others, Owl, Eskimo, Orion, etc. They all
behaved the same.

I also get these crashes in "Goto|Object name" when I type in the secondary
name of one of a pair of stars, Sualocin and Rotanev. The secondary names,
Svalocin and Rotanen, are incorrent spellings of their actual names. Since
these have been used over the years, Guide and other SW does show them.
When these four names are typed in, Svalocin crashes Guide, the other three
are okay.

Using Guide 8 beta, 21 June 2005 version, OS is WinXP Home, upgraded from
Win98 SE, changed from fat32 to ntfs via Convert function.

I hope there is enough detail here to make it easy for Bill to trace. Does
anyone else have this problem?
