I was in the process of digging a massive quarry (about 35x35 blocks). I had a jukebox in the centre of the quarry and until now was able to remove it easily, but shortly after I removed it today the game froze and then crashed (all the times I've removed it before I've been using this Version; 1.4.7). Upon reloading my world everything was black, then I started to suffocate (I realised that I was buried... initially just thinking I'd been buried just below the ground I was standing). I started to dig up and eventually got to the floor of my quarry, but it turned out I wasn't buried under the floor, the whole chunk I was standing in had been restored (just that chunk, as the rest of my quarry was fine). It initially took a long time to clear that land and I don't want to waste diamond pick axes re-clearing it (plus some water and lava has spawned there). How can I restore my world to before the crash? What caused this to happen? I'm fortunate that this all happened inside the quarry as the outer walls of the quarry are a tall tower I'm in the process of building (lot's of time has gone into this). I've Attached a screenshot of the quarry after the error along with the error report.

Looks like a duplicate of MC-2711 to me.
You might want to add your crash report to that ticket and ask a moderator to reopen that ticket.The issue you've encountered will be fixed in Minecraft 1.5.Concerning your world: I don't think that you'll be able to restore that chunk without third party tools like MCEdit. Since it just seems to be cubic area you have to clear, MCEdit might help you a lot.
