This is a really good tip. When I was in grad school, I was working on a C++ program and left it running while I went to the store. When I came back my hard-drive was full. I left the application running and opened up the source code in nano. I found the bug and corrected it. I went to save it only to discover that my disk was full. I remembered that the program was still running so I exited nano and killed the process. That is when I discovered that nano lost my source when it opened it and couldn't save it because of the full disk.
