DOS ain't dead

What can cause FAT damage - kernel 2039 or UIDE? (Users)

I use FreeDOS kernel 2039, JemmX and UIDE without /P parameter so far was everything fine and filesystem error occured only very rarely.
But yesterday I upgraded into new UIDE configured it with the /P option.

Then I wanted to so some work in FreePascal on old branch of Kasmar font editor.
But I even didn't run the compilation, only wanted to invoke Volkov commander from FP but it didn't work.
Then I leaved FP and some undeletable garbage occured in directory.
After quite big complications I more or less fixed it with Norton disk doctor 2002. Then I ran FP again and few times tried to compile it but very strange error messages occured.
Then I had to restart, ran again the NDD but damaged files and directories very everywhere on the disk and I lost much of data. I had to format the C: partition and restore my backups from flash drive and from notebook.

I don't want to experience it again so I would like to ask whether somebody knows what could be the problem.

I have to remark that it is no offense to Jack and his UIDE. I know that he always tests his software very detail so it is unlikely that it is the cause.

Anyway - do you have any suggestions?
Should I use another kernel?
Should I again run UIDE without /P ?
Something else?
