Sansa Fuze split time settings not stored correctly

[Doghouse Riley]

Fuze v2 with current official 3.14 build.

Set to split recordings by time and then start a new file.

When I select 1 hour from the settings menu it records for 1 minute and then starts a new file.
When I select 4 hours from the settings menu it records for 4 minutes and then starts a new file.
When I select 10 hours from the settings menu it records for 10 minutes and then starts a new file.........et cetera.

Don't see anything like this in flyspray - a new bug or am I doing something wrong? :-(

(EDIT) I have found that my Fuze+ has the same problem.  And I have found a workaround for both players by saving a .cfg file containing "rec timesplit: " followed by the desired split time in seconds (for example, 7200 for a two hour split). But I still am wondering why the setting does not take.
