   Hi all, getting a persistent crash from my client ever since I installed it. Happens on both my mac osx mountain lion computers. Version is 0.8.1 (beta - in the about section) I open the application, from the command line using data dir= disk with lots of storage. I have downloaded the bootstrap.dat file and the client opens and reads the block information from the disk. @ about 60 % (percentage varies) the dock icon disappears and I check the terminal for output:

   Assertion failed: (!pthread_mutex_lock(&m)), function lock, file /opt/local/include/boost/thread/pthread/recursive_mutex.hpp, line 105.

   Assertion failed: (r->options.comparator->Compare(key, Slice(r->last_key)) > 0), function Add, file table/table_builder.cc, line 97.

   It appears to be a python error, please accept my apologies if I’m posting this in the wrong section.

   Can you provide some information (what OS, what hardware, which previous version were you running, …)?

   @btcusr Can you follow up with any further info?

   Are you still experiencing the crashing running 0.8.2-beta?

   As @sipa mentioned, OS and Hardware info is helpful, as well as a debug log if possible.

   I’m getting this same failure on FreeBSD. Was working fine for a long time.

   I was able to solve the problem by reindexing and only checked the log afterward so wasn’t able to find anything that I was sure was relevant.
