-reindex now shows a worrying error message about not being able to open a file, even though nothing went wrong:

2014-08-13 11:38:16 Loaded 9165 blocks from external file in 137051ms
2014-08-13 11:38:16 Unable to open file /store/tmp/testbtc/testnet3/blocks/blk00009.dat
2014-08-13 11:38:16 Reindexing finished

@laanwj Yes. That error has existed for a long time. The load-block-from-file loop has always looped until error.

It would be nice to clean this up.
