I think this type of problem is usually associated with users shutting down machines without properly exiting the application, or the application itself terminating due to a crash.

If you get the problem during the application, it's possible that it's being caused by the network or disk hardware - the index file being corrupted.

Just some top-of-the-head sugestions.
