That's right. But I was confused by the word "protection" and I would have 
expected that the faulty program(s) would have been killed but the AES or 
MiNT. So it's perhaps, as you repport it too, the AES fault. I use the
v4.1 too...
So it become obvious I need to try the famous N.Aes or one of the free 
alternative ones.
