Comment 3 for bug 974967

Workaround:
I noticed my ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd file was 0 bytes in size as well as all other files in that directory.
I removed the directory and ran "dropbox start -i" which triggered a re-install and then it worked like normal.
I'm on a fresh 12.04. Dropbox used to work and just stopped and I started noticing this crash on startup.
