Corrupt XCF File

I was happily working away with Gimp 1.2.3 with an image that had several layers.

The image was in Gimp .XCF format.

I saved and closed the image.

I came back to the image later and tried to reopen it only to get the message:

XCF: This file is corrupt! I have loaded as much of it as I can, but it is incomplete.

The only thing I get are two VERY small layers.

I checked in ~/.gimp/tmp but there are no files there to restore from.

Is there any way to retrieve this? Edit the image binary to correct a problem? ANYTHING?

I'm somewhat desperate because this image was several hours work I don't wish to recreate.

Thanks.
