Connection problem after upgrading to LW Pro 4.16

If this is posted in the wrong forum, please let me know and move to the proper place.

I've used several previous version of LimeWire without failing to connect even once. Since upgrading to version 4.16, it randomly refuses to connect until I replace the gnutella.net file with one from a previous version of LW. I haven't found a pattern to the failure like every 10th time or when there is a browser opened before it, etc. I have no file corruption issues with any other application.

I've opened the gnutella.net file that fails in a text editor and compared it to the default I use to replace it. I can't find anything that seems odd such as garbled text, unprintable characters or missing EOF. However, it's clear that the file is modified by LW. This would seem to indicate that there is an issue with how 4.16 changes the file versus previous versions of LW.

Since I know how to resolve the issue, I don't expect any replies.
