Hello all, A couple of days ago, my BBDB stopped working. Instead, it now says:
Parsing BBDB... (reading...) parse-bbdb-read: End of file during parsing If I look at ~/.bbdb, I see that it has inserted an open parentheses at the top of the file, just below the ;;;file-version: 6, and added a close-paren at the end. I have to assume that some spammer forged a name or address which managed to slip into the bbdb which is confusing the parser, however, I'm loathe to go through every one of the 6000+ entries which BBDB has picked up over the last 3+ years of use. Does anyone on this list have a relatively quick and painless hack or idea for dealing with this problem? I've tried setting debug-on-error, but of course the error is caught before it gets to the debugger, so that's not going to work. I've also written a few simple Perl scripts, which do things like count the number of open and close parens in a line, to be sure that they match, and that sort of thing, but I've turned up nothing so far. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
