Just applying a little logic to the proceedings, and not having a
solution
The close down procedures need to write the status to a file, from
which the open tabs will be read.
Something is wrong with the file writing, as you get the old status and
not the new.
Permission to write to the file?
Disk full?
File corrupted?
