[Chimera-users] Error in Windows saving a session

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Joel,
	We have had this reported infrequently by other users and have had no success in tracking it down.  Can you answer a couple of questions for me?  Are you writing a compressed session file?  Is the disk you are writing to nearly full?  Thanks.
