Re: [Summary-Talk] processing anomoly

[Jason Linhart <summary@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That error message means that Summary's database is corrupt. There are
several things that might have caused that, a power failure, a bug in
Summary, killing off one of Summary's processes, disk errors/corruption,
bad RAM, etc.

You should try loading a recent backup of the database. Go to Summary's
Tools page, there is a link on the main configuration page, and pick
restore backup, and restore a fairly recent backup. Chances are that
this will fix everything.

If the error happens again quickly after restoring a backup then there
might be a bug in Summary.

Good Luck
Jason
