Is one of these "some other products" OpenOffice? I experienced problems in the 
version before your last fix, but didn't try the recent fix yet.

FWIW: OpenOffice reports a corrupt file when the file is opened the next time 
after modifying an OpenOffice document, and ask if it should "repair" the file. 
If you answer "yes", the file seems to have the old contents, but not the last 
saved version :-(

Can anybody confirm this?

Anyhow, I'll test this new version and report, if the problem persists.

Thanks for all your work!
