Comment 5 for bug 113279

This patch only makes sure that there isn't a previous autosave file overwritten, which can help people who are encountering the same problem.
The developers should concern, as you suggest, to change the sobby package so it does what everyone expects it would do: automatically reload the previous autosave file. I must say that it does seem like a better solution...
