Post From: SC loads THOUSANDS OF YEARS of ES futures contracts after a crash

SC 2646
Trade Service: IBKR
Symbol: ES
OS: Linux with wine

After a computer crash (not caused by SC), while SC was running with an open Chartbook that included ES futures contracts:

After restart of the computer, restart of SC and then loading the same chartbook that was active before the crash, SC is now trying to load data for ES contracts for thousands of years into the future. This is observed by SC creating the files
ES-yyyymm-CME.dly and ES-yyyymm-CME.scid
in the SC data folder for lots of years into the future.
The SC application becomes unresponsive. I killed it when it arrived at year 5000 or so.

The same can be observed for other chartbooks that include the ES symbol, which were not open during the crash. So, it is probably not a problem that is related to the chartbook itself (i.e. corrupt chartbook config data).

Chartbooks not involving the ES symbol load normally.

The observed behavior is repeatable.

Please advise how to fix this problem. Thanks!
