I know what happened to you. I've yet to recover myself, but I
discovered an issue with the save command.
Its a script that does:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/zerofiller

What happens - I watched it - is it makes a huge file, filling at
least 10% of root. 
What I saw happen is that I had a root file system that was around 90%
full - when I ran the command it filled the file system then the
script failed. 
  I have no idea what this step aims to accomplish, but I think it
needs to be changed to check if there is enough space and before
running and gracefully generate an error message if space is inadequate.
