    This will cause crashes.  First, stream may be NULL,

Indeed, it has to check that.

							 second, using
    stream after fclose is undefined.

Using the stream after it shouldn't be used any more seems to be
exactly the bug we are trying to find.

Are you talking about the second call to `fclose'?  I guess we would
have to change do_auto_save_unwind so it doesn't close the stream a
second time if it was already closed.

In any case, Layer's latest message suggests that the problem
is of a different kind, not the one this patch was intended to prevent.
