Yes, it very much looks like a filesystem issue, I prefer that <g>
If you feel like trying to reproduce it, maybe you could try to add an
fsync() in the saving code and see if this makes a difference.

Do you have the LSB package installed in your Mandrake? There are two
bugs in Mandrake 10 that some of our users have spotted in CrossOver. I
dont know all of the details but there seems to be a issue with the 2.4
Mandrake kernel and the LSB package. Once the users have removed the
LSB package things seem to clear up.

Thanks
Steven

With this kind of corruption?
I am on a Mandrake 9.1 base with some packages taken from 9.2. I have 
not upgrade my kernel.

It is strange how this package can affect things but I will try to 
remove it and see if this help. :-)
