Thanks for the bug report.   I'll bet that this happens because
gattrib doesn't check to see if there are any items in its data
structures before trying to save.  THen it tries to write out
something which points to NULL.  Look at the stuff involved in teh
file->save callback.  I probably need to put a sanity check for
non-null in there, and tell the user that he can't save if he doesn't
have a design read in.

Another project to put on my "to do" list.
