Sorry, I do not know how to recover the length data. What I can do,
however, is fix ImageJ so this should not happen in the future. In
version 1.37b and later, when using "Measure and Label" or similar
macros, you will get a "Save Results?" dialog when switching between
measuring lines and measuring areas. Macro writers will be able to
suppress this dialog by running in batch mode.
