I have had the same experience. We had to use an application in school 
that was notorious to crash and corrupt your files. I kept ten different 
save files, cycled through them when I saved. When it did crash it 
corrupt not just the file I was working on but five other of my ten save 
files. Of course, these we're the five latest files and the other were 
too old. That really sucked.
