Personally, having experienced the same problem (on a fairly hefty box mind you) that I am now in the habit of backing up the host file every 5 or so entries I add, since doing this I haven't had the problem! Sure as if I stopped it would happen again though. I also keep backups of old host files and registry keys whenever I make a lot of changes at once.

My setup is configured to automatically save changes to the host file... In the last hour I added approximately 30 new monitors.. Then, the application crashed while trying to obtain some perfmon counters from a remote machine.. When I clicked OK, the app exited. But guess what? All 30 of my new monitors were NOT SAVED! Uggghhhhhh.. I have to re-do everything. It appears that the changes are only saved when you EXIT the application??? Is there a way to update the file after EVERY change and not just when I exit the app?????
