As far as i know - it *should* have. Not save/overwrite the old file,
just create a new temp one. Which is detected in case of of chrash, and
recovered.

As far as i know, OO does this, MS word does this - even vim does this!
That is why you can recover documents never ever saved.

But i have seen cases where it haven't worked - looks like OO haven't
detected where the file was. Or it was never created.

When that is said, i have used oo for about 1½ year now, and can only
remember two bad crashes - and in only one case i was unable to recover.
I remember cursing word many, many times more
