Check the hsave/asave function, that is the one which would eventually be overwriting your files.. it sounds like it is truncating before the file has finished writing, i.e., something has stopped the writing process. We separated our helpfiles into .hlp files a long time ago, so not sure how the old thing was anymore, but you can expect problems if you try anything moderately fancy. IIRC the hedit is just a crude hack of the rest of OLC with more bugs.
Personally I just open those .hlp files in a text editor and write them in then save & reboot in changes, much faster than messing with OLC. Obviously OLC is useful for area building since resets/doors/obj&mob stats is time consuming otherwise, but helpfiles are very basic, and you don't need an online editor.
P.S. This has not happened with any rom 2.4 I have messed with, so you should probably check your recent changes.
