Normally that data does get saved, too. But somehow this didn't happen.
The admins moved the home-dirs to a bigger disc.
I think that it was not shut down and then the image/changes got
copied, then,
after some time, they mounted the copy instead if the original volume.
So the running
Squeak did get a different changes file than it thought it had. Could
that explain it?
I'm not sure..
