I get the option for all.svx, but the date scale is rather odd - the
dates aren't ordered, and some are pre-1970.  I'll track down what's
going wrong there and perhaps that'll fix your problem too.

What platform are you on?

OK, it needs to check if there's date information when loading a new
survey.  I've checked in a fix.

I've also tweaked the handling of signals and error dialogs which should
prevent such cascades in future!
