I just upgraded my bitcoin client from 0.6.1 to 0.7.2 and it seems to ignore the existing blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat files - i.e. it downloads the block chain from block 0 rather than from where it was currently.
blockchain downloaded from block 0 when upgrading bitcoin-qt client #2119

It shouldn't start downloading only re-indexing/converting when upgrading to 0.7.x. Probably this was a result of some corruption. Closing, because there is nothing we can do here and this refers to ancient versions.
