terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DbRunRecoveryException' #1048

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64. I first started getting this error with the bitcoin-qt in ubuntu's ppa repository, but when I tried the code from this git I get the same issue.

xxx@XXX:~/workspace/bitcoin$ ./bitcoin-qt

(bitcoin-qt:21295): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DbRunRecoveryException' what(): DbEnv::txn_checkpoint: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery Aborted

And when I run it through gdb I get this:

Quit anyway? (y or n) y

I tried removing the .bitcoin directory and repopulating, but I still get the error.

Can you bisect it?

This happens without anything in the bitcoin data directory?

This happens without anything in the bitcoin data directory?

Everything except the .wallet file.

Can you bisect it?

I'm bisecting it now. I should have the culprit soon.

Not possible, I don't think that was even committed when you reported the bug :p

Maybe try again, more carefully...

Strange. I git reset --hard master to try the master again, but no more error. It loads up fine.

I just tried git reset --hard v0.6.0 . Still no more error. Somehow it resolved itself ..
