[Box Backup] bbackupd crashing

Thanks for boxbackup. It's a great tool that has saved me several times.

I run bbackupd 0.09 on freebsd 5.4. It has been running somehow stable for 
several months. It sometimes crashed, but I can just restart it as if 
nothing happened. No system changes have happened for long time.

Recently bbackupd began crashing soon after starts up. It always crashes 
on the same file, even though there have been no changes to the file. I 
have tried to remove the file it chokes on; bbackupd then runs a little 
longer but chokes on a different file. Both the debug and no-debug version 
of bbackupd stops at the same point.

To run 'bbstoreaccounts check 1234 fix' on the backup server did not help.

To reboot the backup client did not help.

syslog says:

  kernel: pid 7330 (bbackupd), uid 0: exited on signal 5 (core dumped)

In this case, bbackupd stopped on a directory. Checking the file system:

  # ls -ld /usbdisk/home/sauber/projects/dev/linker/htdocs/.p/scene2/CVS
  drwxr-xr-x  2 sauber  sauber  512 Sep  4  2000 /usbdisk/home/sauber/projects/dev/linker/htdocs/.p/scene2/CVS
  # stat /usbdisk/home/sauber/projects/dev/linker/htdocs/.p/scene2/CVS
  1049 3509281 drwxr-xr-x 2 sauber sauber 14038505 512 "Jan  7 14:28:44 2006" "Sep  4 06:06:57 2000" "Jan  4 03:10:51 2005" "Sep  4 06:06:57 2000" 4096 4 0 /usbdisk/home/sauber/projects/dev/linker/htdocs/.p/scene2/CVS
  #

Obviously I would like to get bbackupd up and running again. Please let me 
know if I can provide any other information.

Thanks,

Soren
