+// Quitting ScummVM, returning to the launcher, or terminating the game in any
+// way outside of the game's menus during the chapter 7 chase leaves the saved
+// game in a broken state which will crash ScummVM when loaded. The chase was
+// programmed with the expectation that it could never end under unexpected
+// circumstances, which is a bold stance for a Sierra game.
+//
+// Each saved game consists of the file phantsg.#, and once the chase beings, an
+// additional chase file that records all actions for playback. This is named
+// chase.dat when the chase is running and chasedun.# when it isn't. The file
+// is renamed when transitioning to and from the main menu. The existence of
+// chasedun.# tells the main menu that it should put the game in the chapter 7
+// section. All of this depends on the chase formally ending through scripts
+// that can restore the file name. If the game terminates without this cleanup
+// then the chase file is never renamed and can't be associated with its slot.
+// The save will then be incorrectly demoted to a non-chapter 7 save. Upon
+// attempting to load this broken save, a chase script will attempt to play the
+// missing chase.dat, seek beyond the beginning, and fail an assertion in a
+// stream class. This never picks up the chase.dat from the previous run due to
+// a startup script which deletes stray chase.dat files.
+//
+// We fix this by copying chasedun.# to chase.dat instead of renaming it. This
+// leaves the original file intact along with phantsg.# in case the game
+// terminates without the scripts getting a chance to cleanup the file system.
+// This patch is currently the only known caller of kFileIOCopy.
+//
+// Applies to: All versions
+// Responsible method: Exported procedure #6 in script 45951
