That message is misleading; it is issued for any record in the index, 
status, or sortcache files.  The error message is returned by an fgets() 
that returns a buffer that does not end with newline.

The most likely explanation is that either the index or status files got 
whacked by your power failure.  Check the index file; I suspect that 
you'll find the problem there.  Unfortunately, you'll have to fix it by 
hand.

An index file rebuild tool is at the top of my to-do list.
