At risk of setting a precedent here, I'd have to agree with Tom on this
one. Corrupted revlib entries SHOULD NOT happen in normal operation, and
just brushing it under the carpet like it didn't happen is highly
dangerous.

At the very least it should be rename()d out of the way, so that future
code can at least proceed and recreate it to work with. But I think it
would be highly wrong to just plain delete it.
