ULTIMA8: Crash trying to save BookGump

Description

I'm playing Ultima 8 with the latest public release of ScummVM, v. 2.7.0 with the timestamp of Feb 14, 2023.

As I play the game, the game repeatedly crashes with the error "ERROR: Object class cannot save without registered loader: BookGump!"

This can be solved for a time by starting the game again, but it happens with increasing frequency the further into the game I get.

I attach here a screenshot and a savegame.

Summary: ULTIMA8: Bootgump! crash errorULTIMA8: Crash trying to save BookGump

That's strange, it shouldn't try to save with a book gump open.

As a workaround you could try disabling autosaves in the global options, then at least it won't try to save at a bad time.
