The recovery window appears immediately announcing it can get the
document back
If it is able to save correctly and show that window, it would be useful
if it gave some clue about why the crash happened, e.g. did a malloc
call fail, is there a stack trace? The window doesn't give the user any
hints to troubleshoot further.
I'm guessing it may be an issue with low physical RAM on a host that
doesn't have dedicated video RAM but the errors don't give me enough
detail to be certain.

Daniel
