Upgrading your player data can corrupt data being exported. It's a time zone problem, so you won't necessarily notice it, but you will when using other people's player files or possibly data from a different build. If skipping the upgrade after you did it in a previous build is one case where this could happen.

I'm guessing this has been a cause of import/export grief, and fortunately, this will be fixed in build 27. (Thanks to Schik!)

(The only drawback is that I'm not sure whether such corrupted exported player files (and Dugan's Dungeon demos) will be importable to build 27.)
