sessionstore.js is all nul after OS hang.

As best as I can recall the steps - I decided to take the opportunity after the OS hang to update FF.  This is Vista @home on D531 laptop

1. OS hang, running FF 3.1b4pre 20090313
2. restart OS, insttall 3.5pre 20090527 
3. start FF

results: 
no sessionrestore options in FF.  Error console has "SessionStartup: The session file is invalid: SyntaxError: illegal character" 

checked sessionstore.js with notepad++ - all 822250 bytes are null

additional background - I frequently restore (1-2x per week), sometimes (but rarely) after OS hang. I've never had a bad sessionstore.js file
