Ok, I solved this for me and that would possibly works for others. By fixed I mean I repaired my file, not that it won't happen again. I'll try my best to explain.

msmessage above described the action that I also did and which resulted in corrupting my save. Basically I destroyed an audio file from timeline/pool, reimported a new version and put it on thetimeline. I did it several time with no prob until for some unknown reason file lenght changed a tiny bit. From what I get I ended up having an instance of the file in the timeline that was longer than thefile actually was, which resulted in CS8 being depressed and commiting suicide.

Now how to fix this ?

1) make a backup of your corrupted file and mark it as read only

2) open it and thecorrupted file in an xml editor (notepad can do that although anything with code identation will make it easier)

3) if you have an idea of the file source that may cause the issue, create an emptyproject in CS8 and import it. Save and open your test file as well in your xml editor.
Look for the "GenericTrack" tag. If you're not familiar with XML basics, the important thing to get is that thisworks like boxes in boxes. You have a Track container. Top of the container is <Track> and bottom is </Track> : everything in between are smaller containers that are held in - and in thatcase that means all of the tracks of your project. <GenericTrack> is the top of a smaller container inside the <Track> one that hold one your track with everything dropped on it and all ofits parameters (such as height of the track...). </GenericTrack> is the bottom of that container. Sorry for those who already know that.
In your test xml, you should notice two<GenericTrack> containers (although there's only one displayed in your project, for some reason). One hold more lines : it's the one with your file. Among those one should read like this :
<AMFile...
