hamster-applet crashed with OperationalError in execute()

Binary package hint: hamster-applet

Got this problem after upgrading from Karmic to Lucid. Hamster-applet crashes and can't be added again to the panel.

Removing ~/.local/share/hamster-applet/hamster.db resolves the issue, but it also means that I loose all my time tracking history.

I'm attaching the offending hamster.db for reference. I only used it for experimentation on this machine. I hope I won't run into the same issue on my main production machine when I upgrade to Lucid.

I didn't run into this problem on my production machine when I updated to Lucid. If no one else is seeing this problem, feel free to close it.
