[Fixed] Weird login problem on subsequent logins

I have been noticing intermittently but much more often than not, a problem whereby I can login once per restart on a character, but subsequent logins report that a required hak is missing, or the game crashes.

I believe this is related to the persistence code, but I am unsure. Further investigation is required.

I should note that this claims you don't have the required haks, but you can verify you do against the list (or redownload the zip of all of them) and this sympthom will still persist. I do not believe it is actually related to the haks. I believe it is seeing persistence data on the character file and thinking you need something special for that. Likely, it is being saved malformed due to some error. I am looking into this.

After placing some debugging output through the functions, it seems areas given generic areaXXX names are not being saved properly in the character file but the ones with properish names do save correctly. I should trap this error so it doesn't cause corruption, but the affected areas will also be fixed.

With the proper relabeling of areas, this should no longer occur.
