Hello Martin,

Have you tried bogoutil's --db-recover-harder option?  Look at the
on-line help and the man page for bogoutil on how to use the option.

If your wordlist is totally hosed this may not work.  In that case
you'll have to delete your wordlist and start training anew.

As a defensive practice, I periodically run bogoutil to dump my
wordlist to a text file.  If something goes wrong I have a record of
the wordlist's contents and can recover easily.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

David
