	:-(

	There is a race between the deletion of a page (or other
user activites) and the auto save mechanism.  I am in the process of
adding a mutex to protect/fix this problem.  The code within libgeda and
gschem was never intended to be thread safe, so I'm not particularly
thrilled about adding a mutex, but I don't think I have any choice.
I'll send out an e-mail once I have checked in a fix.
