Also, you can enable autosave in Tools > Preferences in 1.2.x.

There should be a file with the same name in the same directory as 
your scribus file with .emergency extension.

Depending on your distro or if you compiled Scribus yourself, you can 
enable debug builds which then can be run with a debugger if it is a 
repeatable bug.
