Is it not possible for you (for the future) changing the one-file mode 
to an other? I am using ind-file and one file for the rest. Thats a 
good solution, because corrupt Indexes are often and hard work. I know 
it sound stupid, but I choose the solution to delete the Index-File 
before I open the database (Coded by myself). This takes a while until 
database is reindexed again but it is more stabile and I have less 
questions from Users, because there app doesn't crash and I have to 
write them "Please look in your database-directory and delete the file 
with *.ind".

Good luck
