Thanks for the fast response. Indeed, I found the runsettings only after the post. The reason ---as most reasons go--- comes down to custom. I still enter koreader from Nickel even though it functions better from the Start Menu. I'll probably keep making this mistake for a few days.

I start koreader and Kobolaucher from Nickel with fmon/Kobolaucher.

Does it do this only in specific situations? For instance, only if you call nickel for the 25th time without a power circle, or something like that?
I don't know yet. I uninstalled and reinstalled Start Menu again and now I can start koreader and Kobolaucher both from Start Menu and Nickel and switch between the latter two. No crashes yet. I had an 0 byte file (settings.reader.lua) so it could also mean that it was an IO-error that hung the system. After reinstallation it didn't happen again.

I thought you wrote that Start Menu and fmon were exclusive?
