This has happened to me several times. When it does, I find that lazarus creates 
a folder called "backups" and moves my entire project directory over there.

I am using the following version (via Graeme's git repo): git-svn-id: 
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk@32710 
4005530d-fff6-0310-9dd1-cebe43e6787f

I've observed it occurring when I am debugging an error, and I click on the call 
stack to access a file for which I don't have the source unit. Then the source 
editor shows ... I don't remember, maybe it's a binary, or assembler, or 
something-- I can't recall. Anyway, the style is wrong: the source editor is 
not using my fonts and colors. Then it crashes and my source folder is replaced 
by a binary, and the source folder moved to the backups folder (thank God for 
that!)
