Summary: Crash and Corrupted blends -NASTY-

Initial Comment:
This happened to me twice in 24 hours
with very recent builds of tuhopuu (last week and 
today 11/05/2003)

After some time modelling and saving correctly my 
work, i hit CTRL+W to save my work as usual, and jump 
immediatly to the material panel to assign a new 
material to my mesh... and BAM!

Blender crashes... okay.. no problem, I had saved 
just before.
I restart blender or the computer, try to reload that 
particular file and >>CRASH!
opening blend1 file >>crash

I try to import one by one the elements, but when I 
come to this particular mesh (which is instanced) or 
it's user-objects, >>crash

I tried to open with other blender versions... 
crash...
I found the temporary file>> crash...


I'm desperate... last time it happened the TEMP was 
okay, a little old, but okay, but here I lost hours 
of work!

Anyway, I'm attaching the incriminated file.
NOTE: the blend contains scripts, don't worry about 
that... one of the meshes is intanced three times... 
this is the one that'll make blender crash.

I hope you find the solution

Dani

OKay, the server sent me some strange error...
I'm uploading it onto my web space
here:
http://dani2.chez.tiscali.fr/thurzo.zip
if direct dowload doesn't work you can get the file here:

Hope this helps.

That blend appears to be quite
corrupt, and yes, it appear due
to the materials. I was unable to
recover the blend, but I was able 
to get the mesh out as a vrml file
... it is here:

Thanks !

I reimported the mesh and worked on it.

However I did a test with a compile updated yesterday
and the problem is still there.
If you save a mesh just before you add a material or with 
a material already added to it blender will crash and the 
file will be corrupt. I think it's more particulary due to 
the advanced shaders (blinn and toon)
If it's so, then in surely needs to be fixed before they 
get into the BF release.

Thanks for your patience!
Dani
