For you and Dragan: Yes, for now. Then you run the app, everything is OK for a while. Then it happens again. So, do you:

- Recreate again, then wait for another failure (lather, rinse, repeat)? Someone famous once defined that as insanity

- Indexes don't get corrupted for no reason. If that's what's actually happening, something else is wrong. That reasoning applies to the *first* instance of a CDX going bad. So, right from the start it's important to look for root causes, not just keep treating the symptoms
