Yeah, this is real familiar to me! Way back in Nov 2007 I reported this as a "bug". I did an unload and a load to fix a corrupted database and it hung on a default .#DATE column with the exact message you got. RBTI did not change this behavior: "Solution Provided (not a bug)". I can't remember what they told me to do -- I think I had to change it to a computed column rather than a default??
