Hey, I had an issue with Growl not starting.

This was the output:

7/12/11 8:55:38.792 AM Growl: CoreData: error: (11) Fatal error.  The database at /Users/odin/Library/Application Support/Growl/notifications.history is corrupted.  SQLite error code:11, 'database disk image is malformed'
7/12/11 8:55:38.794 AM Growl: Unresolved error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=259 "The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format." UserInfo=0x106828470 {NSSQLiteErrorDomain=11, NSUnderlyingException=Fatal error.  The database at /Users/odin/Library/Application Support/Growl/notifications.history is corrupted.  SQLite error code:11, 'database disk image is malformed'}, {
    NSSQLiteErrorDomain = 11;
    NSUnderlyingException = "Fatal error.  The database at /Users/odin/Library/Application Support/Growl/notifications.history is corrupted.  SQLite error code:11, 'database disk image is malformed'";
}

When I deleted the `notifications.history` Growl started working properly again. Just thought you might want to do a nicer check if the file is corrupted, I'm not sure how it got corrupted probably from a bad shutdown I guess.

Cheers, 

Odin
