Changes going nuts

This is on my long term image - born at 4743 updated to 4889. I had this
session open for maybe 2 days, and haven't saved for the last 2 hours of
work. On one fateful method accept, I noticed that I had the good old t1
t2 variables thrown in, which gave me some vague impression that the
.changes file vomited. Like a doofus, I backup my image and quit WITHOUT
saving, figuring that all those methods that didn't barf their temp names
would be in recent changes.  
On restart, Recent Submissions shows nothing after the last save.
Everything gone. Between the tears, I remembered some mention of a Magical
Update that could directly slurp in and browse the changes file. I opened
it up from a file dialog (select Squeak3.2gamma-4743.changes, click
[changes]), and there everything was!
I tried accepting in some more meaningless changes, and this session seems
to be handling Recent Submissions and temp names correctly. I guess I have
to dig my work out of the nifty workaround change log browser, which is
slooow at scrolling through a 1 meg tail.

Does anybody want my changes file?

Oh yeah, this is on Linux, with a sourceforge CVS VM circa June 1st.
