Excellent! Thanks.

I renamed SDFS::RISCOSpi.$.!Boot.Choices.WWW.NetSurf
to .....NetSurfX

NetSurf then started fine
then I quit Netsurf and started moving the old files back.

The problem was a corrupted Hotlist in there. It was 7M and most of that
was junk looking very much like a memory dump.

The section immediately after the hotlist was a load of lines such as

(27736.960000) render/html_object.c html_object_free_objects 651: object
0x67ea3858

which is clearly dumped from Netsurf.


Deleting all the junk after the final </ul> of the hotlist proper, nothing
has been lost.
