OK, confirmed. To work around it for now, insert another tape image with the 
file you want to load on it BEFORE trying to load a file, then it should work.

Well, it looks like you can't really use author with Oricutron at the moment... 
it seems it doesn't use the ROM routines for saving or loading. Tape capture to 
ORT does capture the saved data, but loading it back in doesn't seem to work. 
I'll try and work on this.

I've fixed the crash in SVN r446, but saving/loading still doesn't work.

For some reason, the ort file captured when saving an author document contains 
all 1 pulses, which is why the load routine never sees any data, so the problem 
is in the emulation of the save routine, it seems.
