 As Andras has already found out, the debug area is 1218 since about an hour 
ago :). That could maybe help, and I could try to add more comments if 
necessary. Note however that the requests for saving are done in parallel, 
and only the user interaction ("do you wish to save?" etc.) is done serially, 
so the debug comments probably won't always help you.
