Bug#609044: elmer: Squashes geometry files

[Adam C Powell IV]

Package: elmer
Version: 5.5.0.svn.4716.dfsg-5
Severity: grave
Justification: causes data loss

For some situations, ElmerGUI's Save Project operation replaces the
geometry input files, and every other file with the same basename, with
a zero-length file of the same name.  This is due to a bug in
ElmerGUI/Applications/src/mainwindow.cpp around line 1535, where even
for identical geometry and project file paths, (g_path != p_path)
returns true, and opening the output files destroys the originals.

Upstream fixed this in SVN revisions 4887 and 4888.
