Bug#571238: freecad: save produces empty files

[kai-martin]

Package: freecad
Version: 0.9.2646.5-1+b1
Severity: important


I was unable to save with freecad. This is, what I did:

1) start freecad

2) file -> new

3) "create a box feature"

4) file -> save_as

A file with the suffix fcstd is created, but is empty.

On exit of freecad, there is an error mexxage on stdout:
	Cannot save BRep file '/tmp//filewMMpYw'
