I don't use -stcmd- or its accompanying programs either.
But a look at the code indicates that you are being
booted out because a file apparently doesn't exist.
This could be false, if the filepath contains spaces.
One way of telling whether this might be a problem is
to go
tempfile ovaldia
di `"`ovaldia'"'
and see whether what is displayed contains spaces.
