MS 14.0.6 Crash

After installing 14.0.6, MS constantly crashes with the following fatal error:
Access violation at address 00872DBD in module 'msched.exe.' Read of address FFFFFFFE.
After re-installling 14.0.5, MS runs without a glitch.

Because mjtnet disallows creating a new thread, I add one here with Subject titled "Assigned Bug"
ASSIGNED does work for variable names with %%
Let>i=1
Let>j=1
Assigned>Item%i%_%j%,x
Let>Item%i%_%j%=123
Let>Item1_1=123
Assigned>Item%i%_%j%,y
MDL>y
Y will be False even though it has already been assigned with 123.

We don't disallow creating new threads. If we did how did you create this one?

Assigned is only designed to work with simple (non embedded) variables.

The forum "Add Posts" was restored late last night (Apr 1).
When clicking 'New Topic' button, it jumps to the http://www.mjtnet.com/forum/. It has never occurred for the last 10 years! It's weird.

Marcus,
Does anyone experience crash with 14.0.6?

Not that I'm aware of. Can you ellaborate?

Marcus,
Per your request, I reinstall 14.0.6 and re-run the script in question. It crashes instantly even in debugger.
After exhausting an infinite permutation of possibilities, I discover a weird outcome. The script was named F10 and was assigned F10 as well. In this case, under 14.0.6, it crashes, but not any previous versions for the last 10 years!
Now I rename the script to 'Press F10.scp'. There's no more crashes.
Marcus, thanks for asking for 'elaboration'.
Not sure why 14.0.6 becomes sensitive to the script file naming.
Have a nice day!

I see the problem. We've obviously introduced a bug in 14.0.6 when fixing another - we fixed an issue with SCRIPT_NAME when there was a dot (".") in the name. I think that is the cause of this issue here.

This is critical so we'll get this sorted today. Watch out for an update.

Thanks for spotting.

Marcus,
Appreciate your fast response and fast fix.
That's the only script (previously named 'F10' and hotkeyed F10) encountered crash with 14.0.6. It's very specific.
Thanks again.
