Yeah i think i had something al ong this line happen once, wasn`t sure if it was operator error or some other error contributed to it.
Personaly what i do now is make a change , check the checker if it is clear , save the Jed file. Make another change check again. (only when doing cleaves and adjoins etc) .
Then about once a day i copy the file to a safe place . This way you have a back up in case as they say s**t happens.
If i get errors in the checker i attempt to fix them if that doesn`t work i simply restart only losing the last litle bit of work.
Next Jed should have another save option in it.
