This means that your database is corrupt.  You should retrain from
scratch to fix this.  Note that if you are using dumbdbm (if you are,
you will have hammie.db.dir and hammie.db.dat files) then you should
switch to using a pickle or download and install pybsddb.  See recent
messages for instructions about how to do this.
