DbException after Ctrl+C on bitcoind.exe (Windows) #471

Hi,

I notice that if I run bitcoind.exe, I get the windows console as expected.

However, pressing CTRL+C (or clicking the 'X' to close the window) causes an exception to occur:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DbException' what(): DbEnv::close: Invalid argument

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I realise there is a 'stop' RPC command, but would it be possible to also allow termination this way?

Thanks

Can you please try the current 0.6.3 version. As for shutdown-problems the 0.7 release will be a good one. But please report back.

@Plasma Hey there, could you please download the latest 0.7 relase and test if this still happens and otherwise just close the issue?

@laanwj I guess this one can also be closed now.

I remember there was some thread recently on bitcointalk, which covered this... AFAIK there is no Ctrl + C handler for bitcoind.exe, which means the crash could still be there. I don't use bitcoind, so can't verify.
