Hello Eric
 
Oh yes, what you describe appears to be a typical thing. I have tried
all the options you mentioned. The last one is the only reliable and
automated way I have found. I do change the reader's Filename from
inside the python shell. I use our own in-house readers and I do not
have the crashes you experience. So this should be a motivation for you
to try again. It ought to work fine.
 
I have it documented for our users in these notes.

Some of it is specific to our servers, but the logic stays the same.
