Summary: Opening BS3 when a lock file exists in data directory consistently causes loss of data in recipe.bsmx.
Details: I close BS3.0.8, and shutdown the computer. Because BS3 actually operates for several minutes in the background after closing its window the user does not know that it still has files open - nor apparently does Windows. On restart, I launch BS3 and receive the appropriate warning that a lock file exists. The dialog says that if BS3 closed unnaturally, and that if this is the only currently running instance, go ahead and launch it, else quit. I launch, and my data is destroyed. In one instance _all_recipes vanished. In a second occurrence, 3 recipes and 10 log entries were retained. All generic data lost.
Additional information:
* Data directory is stored on a NAS so I can access it from one or another PC in my house.
* Computer restart is not required, just create the file InUse.lck in the data directory. Can be zero bytes.
* I am able to restore from archive, fortunately, so perhaps this is a sev 2, but it is still _very_ nasty.
