Hi Tiago,Hi Giuseppe,
In order for me to understand what might be going on, you must provide

some sort of example of this problem happening. I've never experienced
anything remotely like this.
Try to reproduce the problem with a short script, and send me the script
so that I may look at it. It would also be useful to take a look at the
corrupt data file itself...I'll try to create a graph similar to those I'm using, because I cannot share the actual data (NDA and stuff like that).It seems to be closely related to my graphs: simple graphs (7 nodes, few edges) are not affected.However, just a simple script like that:from graph_tool.all import *g = load_graph('old_graph.xml.gz')g.save('test.dot')generates the error. 'old_graph.xml.gz' was created few days ago on another machine running graph_tool 2.2.14. The output is attached (I can share that, it contains almost nothing :-) )I'm trying to pinpoint the type of graph affected by this issue and then I'll share my results with you.
