When you say that you reinstalled, does that mean clean -- with no blockhain?

The latest version of the client is less accepting of a bad wallet whereas the older client didn't catch it.   Was that possibly what happened (wallet worked fine until you started using the latest?)

There have been reports that -upgradewallet will repair it, even though that's not what -upgradewallet was meant to do

Backup everything in Bitcoin's directory, including the precious wallet.dat

Then try deleting the addr.dat, this guy said his version is corrupted and related to that.

If you still have the same error, try to delete everything beside wallet.dat and start downloading the block chain again.
