That's the problem. We actually don't know, if the system is in a "fatal
state". ... but it could be.

We really cant promise that. .. The internal state, may be broken and the
next save may hurt. Especially if users try out 3rd party software. ..

So the right thing to do is:
DON'T PANIC. There is a problem but it is likely not a disaster.
- Please open your file explorer and create a backup of your TW file.
- *Don't save, create the backup .. Now!*
- After you did the backup, you can save this wiki.
- *To avoid data loss, please close and reopen the TiddlyWiki.*
- Check the content.
NOTA BENE: Please make sure that you regularly backup your data,
because failures do happen & it would be a great shame if you lost
your work.
what do you think. ... To complicated?
