Say what? I've not had any such issues, and all I do is CW. Anecdotal, I know, but N3FJP works great for me (I'm not a hard core contester).
With that said, however, you might only want to use the N3FJP Field Day log, if you also use their Amateur Contact Log for general logging.

I've had some extremely bad experience with N3FJP losing log entries and the server randomly disconnecting. It's also not very good for cw or digi.
If you're just using one station on ssb its probably ok.

The CW issue I have is that it won't let you use enter to send the next part of the exchange like virtually every other logger out there. It forces you to use the F key macros. So I can't just sit there bouncing on the enter key to call CW; instead I have to press <IIRC> F1, then when I type the other station's call, I have to hit F5 (instead of enter) to send the exchange, etc. It also won't allow you to leave a partial class and tab into the section field - e.g. if i type 3<TAB> instead of it letting me enter the section, it actually has the gall to ding at me and refuse to move the cursor until I delete the 3. That's just horrible design for doing high speed head copy.
My club has the full license for all of his loggers and at 3 separate events now we've had issues where the server either dropped logged contacts (in one case, 25 CW contacts) or it just randomly dropped off the network, leaving me unable to continue in local mode and having to grab a pencil and notepad in the middle of an exchange.
N1MM and WriteLog have their own quirks, and especially can be annoying to configure, but I've never had them lose contacts or lock up because of a network failure.
