That file is just basically a log, should be able to delete (rename it addr.old or something just in case) it and the program will generate it again.  Keep your bitcoins

And where i can find that...log ..

I cant find it in the bitc..dir. ?

Click on your start menu, type %appdata% in the search box.  Then, click roaming, then Bitcoin, then you will see it there.

Use windows to search for addr.dat, then rename it and run the bitcoin client again.  I don't know where it will be since I don't use XP.

On a related side note, responding to your post led me to checking my own Bitcoin folder whereupon I noticed the size of my block index file increase by 1 kb -- I knew a block had been solved

It will always remake the file, its a log generated by the client, thats why I said to del/rename it since it was having a problem loading it.  If it's still giving you the same error message after deleting then it must be an issue with the client itself.
