That figures. However, only its beginning looked like an
auto-save-list, the rest was just garbage. I suppose Emacs crashed
before it had a chance to close the file, or else (which sounds more
probable) Emacs data structures were severely corrupted, which both
caused the crash and corrupted the auto-save-list buffer.
