BCU-console.exe version 6.1 has broken output xml file

[cahalu]

On Windows 11 Home 64bit. The output xml ends randomly in the middle of xml tag. Same issue as with version 6.1 was also with version 5.9.

How to fix.

public static void SerializeToXml<T>(string fullFilename, T input, XmlAttributeOverrides attributeOverrides = null)
{
    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T), attributeOverrides);

    // Version of conversion
    var version = 1;
    // Select version
    switch (version)
    {
        // Original version
        case 0:
            using (var writer = new StreamWriter(fullFilename))
            {
                serializer.Serialize(writer.BaseStream, input);
            }
            break;

        // New version
        case 1:
            var settings = new XmlWriterSettings
            {
                // Allow extra characters
                CheckCharacters = false,
                // Encoding without BOM
                Encoding = new UTF8Encoding(false),
                // Add formatting
                Indent = true,
            };
            using (var xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(fullFilename, settings))
            {
                serializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, input);
            }
            break;
    }
}
