A bit drastic. It usually starts working again for me if you get rid of the
empty data file, and revert to the backup data file.
Still can't edit anything in it though. :-(

I could be wrong (and frequently am), but I beleive it's the fact that CM
encrypts the data that seems to cause the problems. I know it's a security
feature, but I wish it didn't bother. It just seems to cause more hastle than
it solves.
I don't need encyption, so all I'm left with is a bookmarks program that crashes
whenever I so much as breath on it, and the data is often irretrievable as a
result.
