We removed binary format support at least year ago. (There were some clashes between it and back-then hack where python was abusing the serialization interface, which is no longer the case) It would be technically possible to ressurect it, but
1. We want to use boost::serialization at some point anyway (which is faster by orders of magnitude), so it is not worth the effort.
2. If you use .xml.bz2, you will probably have files that are not larger than what binary files would be.
(Feel free to talk back if you absolutely need binary for some reason I don't see)
This bug is invalid in that sense, but I retitle it so that it says that yade should refuse to save in that format, rather than crashing.
