Sorry Jens, I have already wiped out all traces of the apparently 
corrupt database before reading your message, or I would have been happy 
to help and make the database available.

I have already restarted and am over 100 already again.

I can say that my file system is/was not full and a fsck had just been 
done recently.

As to the database, leaving  "Include image data file" unchecked in the 
"General Options" will keep all information in the .tc file, data and 
images?

It may be slower, but at least it has all data in one spot and makes for 
easy backup.

If the problem shows up again then I will make it know here and not 
delete anything.
I am doing the easy entries first, just to see what happens. The manual 
ones I have to enter by hand I will do last. So it should build up again 
quickly.
