Yes, I would expect it to crash. That is the danger of using printf.

No. When returning from a door that is configured to use XTRN.DAT drop file
format and "Modify User Data" is set to "Yes" in SCFG, it will read in the
MODUSER.DAT file and apply any changes.

UEdit should set the user-data-modified flag in the NODE.DAB and the user
record would automatically be read back in. This has nothing to do with
executing external programs or not. The GUI user editor does NOT set the
user-data-modified flag.
