Least I know that it's the actual wallet file that is the culprit here, correct?
This is a new one and looks specific to an old and corrupted wallet.dat. Is it possible to pull the privkey and reimport? If you PM me I can help ya out.
Was the Marketplace removed from the new update?
It was removed in a revision to 0.1.3 that caused it to hang on load. The marketplace is still there and functional its just console-only for now as we improve that entire experience within the wallet.
Getting close to block 17000 - merged mining and increased rewards about to TURN ON.
