SABnzbd losing its config (again)

This is the second time in two months, I have started SABnzbd and it has gone through the "set up " routine.

I chedked the ini file, and it had changed and did not include my customizatons. I had to re-edit the ini with my config, then amend all my other programs with the new API (why can't you paste the original API back into SABnzbd?)
Also, I now do not have anywhere to add scripts on the Categories page?? I have Category, Pririty, Processing, Folder/Path & Groups/Indexer Tags

Version: 0.6.5
OS: Win7 Sp1
Install-type: Windows Installer
Skin (if applicable): Plush
Firewall Software: AVG Free
Are you using IPV6? NO
Is the issue reproducible? NO

Any idea why this would happen & where I should add the TV autoprocess script??

I have managed to work around the script issue - I used an old ini file backup & just added the new api to it.
I now have the scripts boxes back again.

Still not sure why it all reset - we didn't get an update last night did we?

I've never seen the ini file disappear.
There's just a very short time window in which things could go wrong.
So, apart from a bug in SABnzbd, which has so far eluded me,
the only other thing I can think about are OS problems.
The API-key is stored in the ini file, so if that file is lost,
so is the api-key. It wouldn't be much of a security measure if
SABnzbd could just reconstruct the same key.
Are there any unusual circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the INI-file?
