This wasn't obvious to me, so perhaps is worth mentioning: include "sally.idx" along with "slot0.sav" thru "slot4.sav" when you back up your savegames (either to archive them or to save over the first slot again).
Being a programmer, I naively assumed "sally.idx" was a static index file into "sally_clean.bf", but it isn't, it stores the descriptions of the slots.
If you didn't back up "sally.idx" it's no big deal, just load and immediately save any slot and its description will be fixed up.
I love this game to bits, but [insert rant on lazy console ports, limited number of slots and inability to name them].
