Hi g00r00,

This may be a stupid question, but I've seen a few times now, where I'll be
working on an MPL, and I'll get files that are renamed as
filename[conflicted].ext.

I'm currently working on updating a MPL from a few years ago, and it keeps it
own log file. The log file is now getting renamed to 'conflicted'. 

I'm guessing this is caused by some attempt to write to an file that's
unopened? Is this a general 'catch-all' type of event that happens when there
is an error somewhere? It would just give me somewhere to start looking for the 
problem. :)

In the past, I've seen this with the .mpx files, and also with the chat#.dat
files.

Any clarity you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
