rolling client crashes after /q

[Duelin]

I'm a SK, so from time to time when a pull goes bad I have to /q to clear agro.

The problem is that after I do this, I cannot log into the game again. I can get back to the character select screen but when I click "Play EverQuest" the hard drive thrashes for a few seconds and I get a little popup that says "Your client may have crashed" etc etc.

This happens over and over again for 10-40 minutes after I have to /q.

I'm running Windows 7 Pro, have EQ installed in the default directory, tried it with WinEQ2 and without, nothing seems to help.

WTF is wrong?
