Goodness:
    Your "cleaned up" file "mectuto.dxf" can be read by my LibreCad 2.0.0beta1 (Windows version under Wine, compiled 2012, October 29).

Badness:
    LibreCad openSUSE 2.0.0rc1  (Native linux, compiled 2012, September 12) cannot read the same file.
    Note that the Menu -> Help -> Date of this version is older.

Nor can it save any file it has newly created - containing a few simple geometric entities such as lines or circles.
It's a total show-stopper.

Attached:
    My linux "LibreCAD.conf" file, immediately after a crash:

LibreCAD.conf

And yes, the file "mechtute3.dxf" has been edited (and quite happily) with QCAD3.  Being new to the CAD world, I only have a few .DXF files.  At this stage I think I probably need to get some new, small "known to be good" example .DXF files to test with to avoid giving you folks a deceptive trail of clues.
