Wiiflow Reboot when changing pages in source menu #188

Hi.  I have started getting reboots when I change pages in the source_menu.  I 
press plus/minus/left/right and when I get to the last page the screen goes 
black then wiiflow reloads.  Funny thing is I loaded wiiflow and before I tried 
to change page I went into homebrew then pressed B to go back to source_menu 
and then I can go through all the source_menu without it rebooting.  I thought 
it might have just been a bug that got sorted in the newer revision so I tried 
updating to the latest beta and it does the same thing only I cannot even go 
one page forward or back in sources without reboot only now when it reboots it 
code dumps right before the program loads and it says it will reload in 10 
seconds and it does start reloading wiiflow but then code dumps again.  It gets 
stuck in this code dump loop that will only stop by turning off the console and 
restarting it but then if I want to access any of my sources on pages 2,3,or 4 
(I only have 4 pages of sources) I have to select homebrew first then return to 
sources just to be able to scroll through them but then as soon as I choose a 
source if I return to the source_menu I have to go to homebrew again just to 
choose a different source.

I have a feeling this is a memory problem as I have rather a lot of games and 
covers and my cache folder is rather large(which btw I tried renaming so 
wiiflow would create another, just to see if that would solve my problem; but 
it did'nt).

When I start wiiflow I have it set to go straight to source_menu but I gather 
it is still loading the last plugin cache in the backgroud?  Is there any way 
that can be stopped?  For users wanting to always startup wiiflow in the 
source_menu is there any way we can switch off the last game or plugin setting 
(or at least set it to always default to homebrew regardless of last game run)?

Newest build has worse results with this issue:-

Now wiiflow is code dumping sometimes when I press B button from inside 
emuflow/coverflow.  It says it is reloading in 8 seconds; reloads but if I try 
to access any plugin it takes forever to refresh the cache/refresh the list 
files (like what it does when you first run after upgrading to new build, only 
it does it after every code dump).  As I suggested in first post if this is a 
memory problem is there a way to stop wiiflow loading the cache from last 
plugin used when it starts up?

Example:-

last game I run was a dosbox game, when I startup wiiflow it goes straight to 
sources menu but when I press back it goes to dosbox games(because it loaded 
the last cache used)  can that be switched off to startup straight to the 
sources menu without loading any cache?  I'm thinking that the memory problem 
cannot be solved because of the wii' limited hardware so just thinking of ways 
to reduce the boot time and possibly less crashes/code dumps.  I hardly ever 
play the same game/plugin twice in row anyway so the last game feature does not 
really have use to me.
