And this bug is serious enough to warrant an alert to all users to
completely stop using the versions affected (0.1.61-0.1.62 I
guess). The backups made with this versions are *useless* and will
more likely crash the pilot once restored. 

Also, all users that already have backups made with the affected
versions should delete all backup files and start a fresh backup. This
is so because backups of slow changing data bases made with the
affected versions of gnome-pilot will probably stay damaged in the
disk for a long time.
