I am experiencing a bug that I believe was introduced in version 1.20. This behavior only happens when the S module is invoked by putting my key8e.dta in the Zorro program folder. It was not happening in the previous releases.

After running a Test for any of the Z strategies, Zorro will no longer perform any additional Test runs without a restart. If I try to do a second Test after an initial one, Zorro simply beeps and drops out of the Test run with no results. I have verified this on two separate computers. Now if I remove my key8.dta file and run without the S module active, the Test function works normally.

Here is a dump of my log after first one test and then another:

-------------------------------------------------

As you can see the second test run resulted in nothing happening, it just dropped out with no message.

This is a major problem because it takes an initial Test run in order to populate the sliders according to the selected strategy and since only one Test run is now possible, I can not attempt any capital allocation testing beyond the default values.

Please try to replicate this and see if it is happening for you as well.
