Description issues@www 2001-07-05 21:49:06 UTC 
Try these steps:

1) Fire up the presentation module with the presentation entry in the start menu
2) Take all the defaults to create a new presentation
3) Save the presentation
4) Open the presentation back up
5) Look at the "An unrecoverable error has occurred" box

Basically 632 can create, edit, and save a presentation (they're openable in
627) but you can't load one from disk.

Confirmed on Linux.

Though you _can_ read a .sdd-presentation from disk. It seems the problem is in
.sxi reading. The .sxi-file is a valid zip file.

I just tried:

Open presentation foo.sdd
Save presentation foo.sxi
Open presentation foo.sxi
(Core dumped)

But:

Open presentation foo.sdd
Save presentation foo.sdd
Open presentation foo.sdd

works.

Hello,
could you please try to reproduce this in a version 638c? I have tried it and saving and reopening a presentation with an sxi ending was successfull.
