[tahoe-dev] corrupted lease_checker.state

[slush]

Hello,

after unclear (as I mentioned in previous mail) shutdown of tahoe I
get this exception:

-------------------------
I had to remove lease_checker.state to boot up tahoe. lease_checker
was not empty (it took around 4kB), but it was filled by blank
characters - Im sure it was not correct pickle format. Interesting.
