Not a direct answer to your question, but there's a trick you can
use to avoid this kind of problems in the future:
set undodir=~/.vim/undo
set undofile
See ":help undo-persistence" for more details.
You might also run something like this from a daily cron job, to
keep old undo files from piling up:
find "$HOME"/.vim/undo -type f -name '%home%*' -mtime +30 -print0 | \
xargs -0 rm -f
/lcd
