@Miloch, you're probably right about the typo.
@micbaldur: I had a few CTDs around liches that were probably caused by mazing Charname; I solved them creatively by use of multiple timestops. Charname was imprisoned without CTD once (Kangaxx), but I reloaded because I saw his name has disappeared. Thanks for the link; maybe those files will give me more clues as to what's going on in NI, but my odds of restoring the names still seem slim.
If anyone has any more insight, I'd be grateful.
