What can this message indicate?

Yet another wonderfully informative PowerHouse error message!

This one means that the temporary file ARCHHIST already exists. Or at least
it does in this particular case.

And it works because Quiz simply writes over the existing temporary subfile.

Obvious isn't it :-)
