#1594 Impossible to display a Window
iTerm 0.10. Macbook running OSX 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard)
Impossible to bring up any window. Always fails with following console error messages. Tried deleting preferences but makes no difference.

Rogue Cache.db
I was able to solve the problem by deleting the cached database ~/Library/net.sourceforge.iTerm/Cache.db
I've uploaded the rogue Cache.db in case it helps solve the underlying problem.
Hi DJA,
The developers of iTerm have abandoned it. Please follow iTerm2 at http://iterm2.googlecode.com/. It's under active development and bugs will be fixed quickly!
