File Crash_Any recovery solutions? SOS

Hi all,

I was working on a gh definition for a couple of days already. File was saved properly and everything was fine till it decided to crash when I tried to group some components (It grouped them and then when I was zooming out the group frame was growing along with the zoom out). Every time I try to reopen it, Rhino is crashing, and there is no recovery file in the Autosave folder unfortunately and no previous versions either.. Any ideas what can I do to save all these working hours before start rebuilding everything from scratch? I am attaching the definition in case anyone is willing to try to open it. Thanks in advance for any tips - I really need to recover!

WARNING!!!

For what it's worth, this is my experience:

Only one copy of Rhino running.
Saved and 'Close/New' both Grasshopper and Rhino.
Disable Solver.
Open your file.
Get message that I don't have a list of plugins.
CRASH Rhino!!!!

To my surprise and dismay, when I re-opened Rhino/Grasshopper, both Rhino and Grasshopper's lists of recent files was LOST! Bummer. I didn't lose the files, just the "Recent" history.

P.S. Save early, save often! Disk space is cheap. My file naming convention:

prefix_2015Jul28a.suffix
