Thats funny, because I just lost work too - the entire map, probably. (A week, maybe more, of work) My file is corrupted, I think - it crashes if I save or test the map, most of the time. Sometimes the terrain just disappears. Sometimes it gets stuck on loading. The error console says I have a corrupted SC2 version, but considering sc2 seems to work fine so I think my map was just corrupted.
It happens to everybody some time or another - I'm sorry to hear it ruined yours as well.
BACKUP your work and save it every few minutes :D I've got like 7 backups for some some of my maps lol. But the editor doesn't normally crash for me, unless I leave it alone for a while. Sometimes it locks up for a good 30 seconds but otherwise its fine.

I was about to - I had it set up to do that automatically, but I had forgotten this computer was reformatted so those settings were not changed.
No matter how hard you try to avoid it, there is always a possibly of loosing work.
My map is on another computer, I work on it over the network. I think it got corrupted when it was disconnected, so its possible any backups their would get corrupted as well.
Nevertheless, good advice for those who don't usually make saves and backups.
EDIT: While on the topic, this is the message I get:
e_fileCorrupt
"Your StarCraft II installation is corrupt. Would you like to run the Repair tool now?"

So.. Any clue on whats corrupted and how to fix it?
-Can you open your map in the editor ? Any visible bugs or stuff that shouldn't happen?
-Can you hit testmap, does it load a little bit?
-What were the last changes you made in the editor? Me for example tried to modify a button tooltip with catalog functions and I included a "</n>" in the string. This made the game crash on load, I couldn't test the map anymore. Running the repair tool fixed this magically though.

Well.. I'm sort of hi-jacking reapers thread here. =/ (Unless you were talking to him - sounds like his issue was resolved though.) So I should probably make a separate thread about this.
1. I can open the map. No visible bugs.
2. When I hit testmap, sometimes it loads all of the way and works fine entirely. Othertimes it gets stuck loading. Othertimes it crashes instantly.
3. Not sure what the last changes were.
Every time I try to make a map the editor crashes!!!! Or my PC crashes!! I JUST LOST NEARLY AN HOUR OF WORK I REALLY LIKED WAAAAAAAAAA.
Sorry to shout but it really frusterates me...

I had about a months work of a Catalyst style map a couple months ago, I just now am starting to work on something else. >.>

What Zelda said. I've got about 8 different versions of my 'The Turning' map, for instance.
