When racing GPL on-line vroc (or gpl?) creates a temp file of the IP 
addresses in the GPL directory, and if you don't disconnect from GPL 
properly (eg:- if your pc crashes) the next time you try to race 
on-line you get an address book error.

I eventually found a help file on vroc which explained this, and it 
tells you to delete or rename the appropriate file, and all is well 
again. you should have an "address.ini" and also an "address.vro" 
file in your gpl directory. You need to delete the address.vro file 
(but if you want to keep the ip address(s) it contains, rename it to 
something else or copy if somewhere else so you can add the ip 
address to your address.ini file)
