Well, that is what the app said and a was doing... but Fabrizio found
a deeper reason for the sympton.

Oh, you are right (Fabrizio). I guess Ton would like to see the file
again once he has time, to figure what is exactly the problem to
trigger that conditional.

Blender file format stores some info, and file cmd (Unix, see man
file) has the configuration to detect blends and then report that info
(reason I do not love version pumping nor stuck with it for a long
time either... see posts about timely based releases, stable or not).

test1.blend: Blender3D, saved as 64-bits little endian with version 2.41

So you saved it with something that writes 241 as version info, so it
must be 2.41 or cvs (version there not moved to 242 yet, I think). One
thing I see and I am not sure is if working in 64 bit is completely OK
now, or still could cause problems (all 64 bit workflow should be less
problematic than mixing 32 and 64 machines... but dunno, still green
area). Well... there is the info if that helps figuring what goes on.
