win xp home sp3
gvim 7.2

issue:  vim recovery will not work unless orphaned vim swap
file extension begins with "sw"


scenario:

 os crashes while gvim has a number of unnamed editing
 sessions opened

 after rebooting the os, i locate the orphaned vim swap file

 the file is named _.svz (windoze crashes a lot)

 when i attempt "vim -r _.svz" this message is returned:
  "E305: No swap file found for _.svz"

 i then change the filename to _.swz
  and issue the "vim -r _.swz" command
   and the file is recovered


can anyone confirm this same behavior?  and whether this is a
bug or a feature?



thanks,
david
