Invalid access to memory, from winscp.com

I recently updated to 4.1.0beta and now every time I try to use a command-line script with FTP, I get "invalid access to memory" immediately after login and the directory listing.

I am creating a logfile but it doesn't contain any relevant information.

The problem also occurs when I use the winscp.com interactively.

I think I need a debug version, right? I don't see any way to activate additional logging as a command-line switch.

How do I give you my email address?

Here is the script (username and password obscured):

option batch abort
option confirm off
open ftp://x:x@bfmrr.bloomberg.com
option transfer binary
get corp_pfd_lamr.out.gz.enc.20080402
get corp_pfd_lamr.px.gz.enc.20080402
get corp_pfd_lamr_fitch.out.gz.enc.20080402
get corp_pfd_namr.out.gz.enc.20080402
get corp_pfd_namr.px.gz.enc.20080402
get corp_pfd_namr_fitch.out.gz.enc.20080402
exit

Here's how I call it:
c:\Progra~1\winscp\WinSCP.com /log=winscp.log /script=script.txt

Here's winscp.log:

I had tried downgrading to 4.0.7 and it seemed that the error was recurring. I downgraded to 4.0.5 and the problem went away. Then I went back to 4.0.7 and the problem still has not returned.

Re: Invalid access to memory, from winscp.com

With 4.1, do you get the error too, if you use scripting with winscp.exe (using /console switch).?

Winscp.exe /console does not work

With both 4.0.7 and 4.1.0 beta, when I use winscp.exe /console instead of winscp.com, I don't get "invalid access to memory", but it does not work (and it returns a failure code to my batchfile).

I get

PWD
257 "/"
Getting current
Startup
Listing file "
Retrieving directory listing...
TYPE A
200
PORT
200 PORT command successful
LIST -a
150 Opening ASCII
226 Listing completed
Directory listing successful
Disconnected from server

There's nothing else in the log file to indicate why it disconnected.

I don't think so -- but I can't be certain: the winscp.exe console window vanishes immediately, before I can see anything.

I note that winscp.exe /console is supposed to pause before exiting so that output can be seen, and that doesn't seem to happen in this case.
