Comment(by ramey):

 "Additional comments: 1. opening the data in windows, saving, then
 reopening it on Linux works."

 Looking at this here is an idea.

 a) take a file that crashes when loading from linux.
 b) Loaded it with windows and save it to another file
 c) Verify that it can now be loaded with linux
 d) Now diff the two files.  This should highlight where the difference is.
 It will likely show some error in the way the data was serialized for the
 linux machine in the previous version.
 e) To verify that the problem has since been fixed, Load the file with
 linux and save it to a THIRD file.  Verify that the Third file is in fact
 idenitical to the second file.
