I did, and so far it has.  Thanks. 

I used ^H v some more and tried to understand the utility of 
file-precious-flag.  It appears to me that it is useful mainly 
when no backup files are kept, i.e., when make-backup-files is nil
or when backup-inhibited is t.  Otherwise the system crash during 
save, as described below, would take place only after the backup 
was made anyways.  

Is this a correct interpretation?  If so I won't worry, since I 
do use backups.
