Bug fixes:
- SecureCRT could crash if the “Auto reconnect” option was set and the username was changed when attempting to connect to a server that does not allow the username to change.
- If the INI-file-only global option “Disable Close” was set and SecureCRT was closed using the red “X”, SecureCRT hung.
- If a script was specified on the command line and the “Show connect dialog on startup” option was set, the Connect dialog was displayed.
- If there was an error during script recording and the error message was longer than 64K, the message could not be displayed.
