The same thing occurs with both 1.9.118 and 1.9.113.  It is similar to, but VERY
different from the 2 other issues 47312 (closed) and 35922 (also closed).

When using writer to work on a large doc, my /tmp file system filled up
(normally change temporary directory to something else/larger in options - but
this was a new install and I forgot to).  Large doc filled up 512 MB /tmp
filesystem completely.  After 1.5 hours (yes, 90 minutes) of churn, writer
*still* hadn't finished "trying" to write time and finally died (restart screen
with recovery attempt).  While original file on disk which I was editing was NOT
trashed (differing from the 2 cited issues), nevertheless about 4 hours of work
was lost because recovery failed.

Tried it again (as a test) - copied my original file, brought it up, made a few
changes and saved it, and exactly the same thing happened (did this 3 times just
to make sure it was fully repeatable).

There should probably be some type of warning when the full /tmp dir situation
occurs with a chance for the user to enter an alternative location.  But just
trashing the saved file in /tmp is probably a defect.

(Note this is a medium-large file - with 93 large graphs [scatterplots], 97
small-to-multipage tables, & about 300 pages.  Not as big as some I work with,
but big enough to be a pain - the save takes about 7 minutes on a fast system.
And the .odt file is a little under 8mb)

I cannot send a copy of this file (proprietary), but I can dummy up one similar
to it if that would help.
