.5x config file will not import properly.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Do a fresh, working, tested install of autokey-gtk via the the .deb file.
2. Go to .config/autokey/ and replace the autokey.bin with my .5x file.
3. Start autokey.
4. A file is created in the config folder (autokey.bin-0.5x).
5. The autokey.bin file grows to about the size of the original file and the 
drops to 0 bytes. Rinse 
and repeat. The program never starts up properly. If I clear the config files 
everything works fine 
except my 315k worth of abbreviations don't get imported.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect my old abbreviations to be usable, but they're not.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest version (0.60.7a) on Ubuntu 9.10. Although I had an identical problem 
with another 0.6x 
version on 8.10 as well and have stayed with 0.5x as a result. Thought I'd give 
it another shot 
today.

Please provide any additional information below.

I have a pretty big abbreviations file. I wrote a custom script that parsed and 
extracted a very old 
Robotype for Windows config file (this program is like 15 years old) into 
Autokey 0.1 or 0.2 (can't 
remember which version I started with) but the config file had a very simple 
format so doing an 
import was easy. The newer files... not so much.

Could you please attach your 0.5x config file so I can test this... thanks
