corrupt database?

I ran across this thread when trying to diagnose a corrupt Address Book 
database on my wife's machine:

   http://www.equi4.com/pipermail/metakit/2004-December/001929.html

I think the original poster would have had more success if that final 
command in the suggestion were

      ./tclkit-darwin-ppc mk2tcl.kit \
      '../Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data' > 
saved.txt

instead of

      ./tclkit-darwin-ppc mk2tcl.kit > saved.txt \
      '../Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data'

as written.

In any case, I'm not sure I got much useful info in my case either - a 
bunch of "mk::set" lines I don't understand, interspersed with a bunch 
of binary data I *definitely* don't understand.  It doesn't seem to 
differ much qualitatively from my own (presumably) non-corrupt 
database.

Perhaps I'm jumping to a conclusion about the database being corrupt, 
but every once in a while lots of her contacts will just *disappear* 
from the Address Book.  Like 60 or so out of 400.  It sure sounds like 
corruption to me, but I guess I still don't know what's going on here.
