Is this a new install or an old one? Was it working before? If so what changed when it stopped? What version of bitcoin is this?
This looks like a corrupted blk0001.dat file.
It is a brand new install from the ubuntu ppa.
If I mv blk0001.dat to blk0001.old the application starts but then quits with message: unable to open blk0001.dat
This is happening for me also after bitcoin-qt SEGVed last night. Even after restoring the blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat back to a backup taken 2 weeks ago, it still does it.
(Using Bitcoin version vCLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR.CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR.CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION.CLIENT_VERSION_BUILD-unk-beta (2012-04-13 12:20:17 +0100)
Also tested on 0.6.1 RC1 and exists also. However, I've since discovered it was the addr.dat file it was objecting to, not the blk files. Deleted addr.dat, and now running fine.
Closing this as "unreproduceable disk corruption problem."
This doesn't seem to be happening on 0.6.3
