This is running the 32-bit bitcoin-qt binary released with 0.9.1. I had received numerous errors, so I decided to draw things back to as basic a configuration as possible (the bitcoin.conf file has been renamed so the client would not use it and just assume default settings).
Please note that my local time (and thus my system time) is UTC+10:00

"peers.dat" may be a binary file. See it anyway?

The bootstrap.dat file is the result of the torrent from bitcoin.org (not the other one from BitcoinArmory).

Running this on a samba mount is necessary because I just don't have the room for the blockchain on this system anymore. I doubt it makes much difference, but sardonic is a VirtualBox VM running Slackware 14.1 on ironic, which is:

Now, I could be wrong, but the error in debug.log appears to indicate that an invalid argument was passed to bitcoin-qt. Except no arguments have been passed to it, so strange as it may appear, someone may have hard coded an argument that doesn't exist. No idea why, but that's what it looks like. The offending code appears to be in src/leveldb/util/status.cc:
std::string Status::ToString() const {
if (state_ == NULL) {
return "OK";
} else {
char tmp[30];
const char* type;
switch (code()) {
case kOk:
type = "OK";
break;
case kNotFound:
type = "NotFound: ";
break;
case kCorruption:
type = "Corruption: ";
break;
case kNotSupported:
type = "Not implemented: ";
break;
case kInvalidArgument:
type = "Invalid argument: ";
break;
case kIOError:
type = "IO error: ";
break;
default:
snprintf(tmp, sizeof(tmp), "Unknown code(%d): ",
static_cast<int>(code()));
type = tmp;
break;
}
std::string result(type);
uint32_t length;
memcpy(&length, state_, sizeof(length));
result.append(state_ + 5, length);
return result;
}
}
Of course, my C coding is a bit crap, so that's probably just the beginning.
