Have you run cleanse --tablet or cleanse --tablet_spell perforce-client
lately? That should clean up anything leftover from tablet issues that
came up last march while it was still in development last march. If
you see entries with more recent dates thats probably something for me
to take a look at since there shouldnt be any *new* corruptions in the
tablet, if that happens (and this goes for anyone) please file a bug so
the issue doesnt get dropped.

If cleanse doesnt fix this for you, file a bug and attach a tarball of the
perforce-client directories.

The philosophy is that many things will access the tablet, sometimes
they'll have problems, usually due to bugs from development, most
errors I know of are repairable on the fly, others arent, if the error
isnt repairable (theres no spell data apparently), it moves on and falls
back to behavior without a tablet. Idea being its not going to just
remove data arbitrarily. Cleanse --tablet is more aggressive and will
remove stuff it cant repair (it backs it up elsewhere).

I should probably change the message to say to use cleanse, since now
that I think about it, cast would only fix a subset of issues.
