Hello
I’ve put a lot of work into a project, but when I try to open it after closing, I get this message: “programming error: AutomationList::thaw() called while not frozen”, and my only option is to click on ‘Press To Exit’. I googled this error and not much came up. Pretty frustrating 
I’m running Linux Mint 10 (built on Ubuntu 10.04), with Ardour 2.8.11.

And ulimit gives:

I’m able to open Ardour with a new project, and to load other existing projects, but not this one (or several others).
I googled the error message, but it mostly only pointed to the Ardour source code.
Please help!
Thanks
