I'm using sqlite 3.6.15, DBI 1.21, DBD::SQLite 0.31 with perl 5.6.1. From perl, when I attempt to make a database connection using DBD::SQLite (to, as far as I can tell, any non-empty file I create with the command line client), I get the following error:

[Tue Jun 23 17:10:22 2009] projectory.cgi:
DBI->connect(dbname=projectory.sqlite3) failed: database disk image is
malformed at ./projectory.cgi line 1577
[download]

At line 1577 it is executing this code

$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=projectory.sqlite3","","") or
die "$DBI::errstr\n";
[download]

When I use the sqlite3 command line tool to do an integrity check, I get the following:

rintintin> sqlite3 projectory.sqlite3
SQLite version 3.6.15
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> PRAGMA integrity_check;
ok
sqlite> .exit

Debugging seems to show that the error causing the database to be reported as corrupted is in the DBD::SQLite XS or C code as it exits on DBD::SQLite::db::_login.

main::getDBConnection(projectory.cgi:1577):
1577:           $dbh =
DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=projectory.sqlite3","","") or die
"$DBI::errstr\n";
.
.
.
DBI::connect(/home/talbert/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/DBI.pm:471):
471:        unless ($dbh = $drh->$connect_meth($dsn, $user, $pass, $at
+tr)) {

I would be grateful for any ideas you might have.
