Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Hoary Attempt to open the attached GIF file "as a layer" in The GIMP. Enjoy Crashing and Losing of All Data (no autosave?????)

This is fixed in GIMP 2.2.3. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 163879 ***
Autosaving has been discussed. Because it would mean saving xcf files, which can easily be hundreds of megabytes, it is not easy to implement in a way that may cause more trouble than it is worth -- see bug #138373.
