0001543: aMule window doesn't show on startup anymore
aMule worked correctly before.

Once, I ran aMule and the window didn't appear. The taskbar button was still showing. It looked like it was working correctly (indicating upload and download rates). However, it was impossible to show the window. I closed aMule from this button (right click -> close) and tried to run it again. But from this time, the aMule window couldn't be shown.
Investigating. The amule.conf file had lines with strange content in the [Razor_Preferences] section, MAIN_X/Y_POS were set with huge negative values. Here is an excerpt:

[Razor_Preferences]
FastED2KLinksHandler=1
MAIN_X_POS=-32000
MAIN_Y_POS=-32000
MAIN_X_SIZE=160
MAIN_Y_SIZE=27
Maximized=0
SRV_SPLITTER_POS=522

I patched the section with an old backup of the file and it worked again. I don't know how these lines got modified, I haven't changed any display settings for a long time.

I attached a copy of the logfile, too.
No tags attached.

The wrong setting gets saved by exiting aMule while it is minimized. Please use a newer version, it is already fixed.
