The code to save filters has, in 0.8.16, a couple of bugs:

	1) it can't, on Windows, save filters if the filter file to
	   which it's saving already exists;

	2) it tries to refer to a freed string when showing an error
	   message, which could cause crashes or a bogus file name in
	   the message box.
