I was the one who posted that bug fix, so here it is again (or a 
reasonable faximile thereof):
 
AW5 now supports multiple SRL layouts  which you can create from 
labels-style reports. These can also contain  background text. It 
turns out that if you try to save a DB file with more  than one 
labels-style report containing background text, the program crashes 
unmercifully and irretrievably.
 
I immediately reported this to Randy Brandt, and it turns out it is a 
legitimate bug. He sent me the following patch, courtesy of Dan 
Verkade:
 
Using a disk editor, change the following bytes in SEG.AW:

Hope this helps. More bugs have been found in the Spreadsheet memos feature,
and I think some other areas as well, so stand by for more information in the 
coming weeks as these things surface.
