Is it not possible that LevelDB or something else related to the data files is failing silently?

I created a pull (not specific to this problem), which uses std::fstream instead of fopen() and such for reading/writing block/undo files.
Perhaps this can help in a way that it works a little different than current code, dunno. I also added somewhat clearer exception error messages.

It's not intended for getting merged into the master branch yet, perhaps it never will, but you can give it a try.

TEST THESE BUILDS NOW!
Bounty Funding: 10.00 BTC + 200.2 LTC
Gavin Andresen has pledged 5 BTC. BitcoinTalk pledged 4 BTC. Public donations have contributed 1 BTC. Litecoin Dev Team pledges 200 LTC. The public is encouraged to contribute to these addresses to increase the incentive to fix this sooner.
Conditions
The bounty may be awarded under the following conditions.
The Bitcoin developers have ultimate deciding power of how to apportion the bounty award(s) based upon the merit of the contributions This may encourage collaboration that may lead to a fix rather than hoarding of information. Non-developers may be able to figure out #1.
These terms may be changed at any time for any or no reason.
Background
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2770
Since Bitcoin 0.8.x and the introduction of LevelDB, MacOS X users have been experiencing periodic LevelDB data corruption. For some Mac users it has never happened, while for others it happens frequently.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2916
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3000
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2933
Bitcoin master now contains two Mac-specific fsync patches and an upgrade to LevelDB 1.13. Bitcoin 0.8.5 OMG3 and Litecoin 0.8.5.2-rc5 contains these same patches. It is possible that a different Mac corruption issue was solved by these earlier patches, but users of these branches have reported continued corruption. Curiously, corruption seems to happen after a clean shutdown and restart of the client. All corruption reports seem to be from MacOS X 10.8.x and 10.9 users. It is unclear if earlier versions of MacOS X are affected. It is unknown if particular hardware or software configurations are involved.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2785
Corruption with the same error message apparently is capable of fixing itself. Not clear if this is true of the recent master branch.
