Synopsis: Selecting wrong profiler overwrites profinfo file and makes it an empty file

Description

Compile project with `profile (yes)'.  Click on Launch.  The
EIFGENs/W_code directory now has a `profinfo' file in it.  Select
Tools/Profiler.  Click Next and Next to select workbench mode.  Select
"gprof" as the profiler (which is wrong - file produced by Eiffel).
Click Next and Finish.  Estudio reports an error and you realize your
mistake.  However, file `profinfo' now has 0 bytes!  Click Back twice.
Select Eiffel as the profiler.  Click Next and Finish.  Profile Query
window comes up but there are no profiled calls listed, though there
should be.
