SQLITE_ERROR message; Aperture hangs

Getting the following error message (visible in Console) regularly now. I recently imported a large batch of photos (over 1,500) and edited many of them. Aperture would periodically crash and hang while editing. Now I've finally finished the editing and am backing up to a vault; Aperture appears to have hung part way through the backup and for the last three hours has been regularly reporting the following (every ten seconds):

6/14/10 10:11:09 AM Aperture[172] NSExceptionHandler has recorded the following exception:
SQLITE_ERROR -- sqlite3_step
Stack trace: 0x7fff844eaa2c 0x7fff8863f0f3 0x7fff887bab47 0x7fff887baad4 0x10042facc 0x10026d268 0x10047f540 0x100479f30 0x100237688 0x100234b70 0x10146ea77 0x10147a5d1 0x101475170 0x101473579 0x7fff83458ead 0x7fff842308b6 0x7fff84230769

You may want to cancel the Vault operation, quit Aperture, restart Aperture while holding down the OPTION and COMMAND keys, and selecting the options sequentially to Repair Permissions, Repair the Database and Rebuild the Databsae (won’t take as long as it sounds). Hope then all goes well. If you didn’t get everything imported, import again but check the box “do not import duplicates on the right side. Good luck.
