Changing name of new security purchased causes ABEND

Question

I purchased a new security that Quicken recognized was not in my existing list of securities.  On the screen that pops up for a new security, I modified the security name by removing the word CORP from it.  I hit the Next button and Quicken closed without warning.

I restarted Quicken, went to the investment account, and Quicken closed without warning.

I restarted Quicken, went to a different investment account and it opened normally.  I went to the problem account and the new security screen opened normally.  I clicked Next to accept the default name and Quicken closed without warning.

I restarted Quicken, went to the problem account and the new security screen opened normally.  I clicked Cancel to see what happens and Quicken closed without warning.

Has anyone else experienced behavior like this?  I assume that the security database has become corrupted and that a backup must be restored.

Thanks in advance.

I concur. You should restore a backup saved before Quicken first closed without warning.
