PM Crashes on Startup

[John Maylone]

My wife is running PM version 5.2.2.  She went to do a search and it  
told her that it needed to rebuild the sort indices and gave her the  
choice of "search as is" or to rebuild the indices.  She told it to  
rebuild the indices and it crashed with about 2 minutes left on the  
rebuild.  She opened it up again and started a low level database  
rebuild.  It crashed while doing that.  Her PM runs, but there is  
obviously a problem.  Where do we go from here?

I tried to put this up before, but have not been receiving mail from  
the list, so if this has been seen and answered, please re-submit the  
answer.

Thanks for any help.
