I'm using 2.6.11 on windows 7, and GIMP closed because of a computer crash not a program error, sorry I 
wasn't more specific! The computer crashed in the middle of saving the image and now when I try to open it, 
it give me the 'Opening 'C:\Users\Master\Pictures\My Scans\nerfed copy.xcf' failed: This XCF file is corrupt! 
 I could not even salvage any partial image data from it.' error but when I go to the image properties it 
looks like all the data is still there
