I experienced a debilitating fault after trying to open a .gz file using Inquisit: it repeatedly opened new instances, about one per second without limit, not stopping until I shut down the system entirely. The file in question is named just like the .iqdat files I have for single experiment data files, so I assume it's a data file that Inquisit saved as .gz, but it's from 2022 and I don't remember why it was saved like that. The file itself simply consists of tab-seperated values, so I'm not sure why Inquisit shows this extreme behavior when trying to open it. The only reason I opened it with Inquisit is because that is the program associated with the .gz filetype in Windows Explorer, which I also assume is for a reason. 

The forum does not accept .gz files so I changed the extension to .txt and uploaded it here. I am hesitant to try to replicate it because my computer becomes borderline unusable when the window focus changes to a new instance of Inquisit every second. This occurred on Windows 10 Enterprise and Inquisit 6.5.2.
