I'm running a recent Linux build of the chromium browser, My system
shutdown irregularly and when I brought it up and started chromium the
tabs were gone.

Recently Closed only shows a handful of sites and doesn't reflect the
many open tabs I had.

I see

~/.config/chromium/Default$ ls -l *Tab*
-rw------- 1 km km 8 2012-04-25 09:08 Current Tabs
-rw------- 1 km km 1015319 2012-04-25 09:08 Last Tabs

Killing the browser and copying Last to Current just repeats the same
effect.

The Last file is binary, but strings on it shows a lot of url's. I'm
guessing there must be some kind of corruption in it, but chromium never
complains (in the gui or on the command line).
