Under what conditions would Wings3D rewrite Preferences.txt file ?

As I had noticed that happens always the file is corrupted in some way (load fail).

I noticed that exactly when I was trying to change the code to load files with unicode content. I had implemented the preferences.bak creation when default load has failed, but as the code was replaced for a better and shorter one, that change ended by being lost. (local_consult)

It didn't was implemented until now, maybe because no one have experienced a real situation where preferences could be be corrupted.
What you and me were doing is a no correct use of that file.
