[Rpcemu] RPCEmu Fatal Error

A funny has developed with networking here but there is an earlier funny in the process that has drawn itself to my attention.

First I have today completely rebuilt a new Ubuntu 17.10 partition and installed a fresh version of RPCEmu 0.8.102. This runs on VirtualBox Version 5.2.8 r121009 (Qt5.6.3) on my Mac with Mac OS 10.13.3. The error below is repeatable.

RPCEmu starts up OK (as long as I remember to do the right things in the right order) and the Fatal Error only appears when I use the RISC OS shutdown facility. There is no error when I click on File > Reset on the top Menu for RPCEmu. Nor is there an error when I clock on the Close button at the top right of the RPCEmu window.

To get the fatal error here:
1. Click Menu on cog on iconbar at bottom right,
2. Click on Shutdown, and wait for the RISC OS window to clear,
3. Then click on Restart.

An Error box appears showing:
RPCEmu Fatal Error
Bad PC fc00 1000 fc00 1000

The same error content is put into the Terminal window.

Then on trying to restart RPCEmu (from Terminal):
1. It does not Boot, it just brings up a RISC OS command line with a message about *Desktop.
2. *Status shows that filesystem has reverted to ADFS.
3. So I reconfigure filesystem to hostfs.
4. If the RPCEmu Settings menu > File > Reset is done, system boots up OK.

Is this serious?

Is there any way round it?

I can provide a copy of the rpclog. (Here? Appended?)
