Well, that's even in the docs of F2: As N.AES doesn't directly re-use
APP-ids (just as MiNT does with PIDs, i.e. after the process with PID 2
exited, PID 2 won't be used until the PID counter wraps around), and
Freedom has a fixed buffer for the applications using it, this buffer
overflows after a while.

The docs claim this to be a problem in N.AES, I say it's simply a
short-sighted implementation in F2, especially as other file select
boxes don't suffer from this problem.


Ciao
