[Monotone-devel] db init oddity

[Tom Tromey]

I've been running a test where each time through, I delete a monotone
database and start over from scratch.  About every other time I get
this:

fleche. rm ~/Monotone/Classpath.db
fleche. monotone --db=/home/tromey/Monotone/Classpath.db db init
options path is MT/options
opening rcfile '/home/tromey/.monotonerc' ... ok
executing db command
                                                                                
*** Error: std::runtime_error: could not open database: 
/home/tromey/Monotone/Classpath.db: database disk image is malformed
                                                                                
**** error return code 205

I don't have a truly reliable way to reproduce it.  But you can see
from the cut-and-paste above that at least the error message is
confusing.
