1.8.4 datafile corruption

Well, for one thing 1.8.9 is current.  So, anything that may be
wrong with 1.8.4 (and there were LOTS of things wrong with 1.8.4!)
is irrelevant unless you can reproduce it in 1.8.9.

Having said that, I've never heard of this problem before... and
if you cannot reproduce it I'm afraid nobody will be able to help you.

But you REALLY should upgrade.
