I'm getting
Error loading wallet.dat: Wallet corrupted Even after restoring your backup? Can you join #bitcoin-dev to troubleshoot? No, i was using 0.4.2 before, and it worked fine. When i changed to 0.4.4, i got that error, and when i restored the old executable, it was working fine again. Seems like an incompatible wallet version to me.

My best guess, at this point, is that your wallet has a corrupt private key which was not properly detected in older versions. Could you check debug.log?

You did not ever use 0.6.0rc1? (I ask because that had a known and fixed bug that can cause this)

I do Bitcoin stuff.

I copied 0.4.4 back, and now I'm getting a slightly different error. Does 0.4.2 still work? This looks like blkindex.dat got corrupted somehow.

I've got the 5.3 win32 release installed in a vm, is there anything in particular that needs testing?
