I think something like this has happened to all of as at some point. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but there's a take-away lesson: every so often do File->Save As and save a copy. I tend to name my files like 'project_name-01', and after an hour or two (or any client revisions) save as 'project_name-02', then '-03', '-04', etc. There's a GIMP plug-in that adds an iterative save option (I've never used it though): http://registry.gimp.org/node/18873 For what it's worth I learned my lesson from Photoshop, not GIMP. It trashed a file I had been working on for over 6 hours and I was only able to retrieve bits and pieces - nothing close to the full document. I had to start over. Over the past 10 years I've seen trashed files at least once from most of the Adobe suite, so I don't think you give up on GIMP just yet. A crash during the save process can be a very dangerous thing, no matter which program you're using.
