Hi, Thanks for the help everybody, I see now what a strange bug this is.
I spent some time this morning reproducing this error, and though I could trigger it I couldn't find problems in the reading of the history file. I'll try again, but I don't know whether that will reveal anything. I don't want to upload the sleep() patch, as that won't fix it for everyone, and will just tend to slow things down. The try: patch would be more acceptable, but as the applet can be added once the session is up and running it seems that it would only lose things from the history when it doesn't need to. Writing this made me realise that this could well be caused by reading from the file from two different threads, and I have just checked and the applet does indeed use threads, so that would be an avenue worthy of investigation.
