Unacceptable. Corruption: error in middle of record

Bitcoin-QT. My blockchain failed. I started rebuilding roughly a month ago. Win7. The system seized once a week ago, I restarted and it continued reindexing no problem. Last night I was within a few of days of sync and expected to be up to date today. I woke up this morning to BSOD. I rebooted and the blockchain has failed with "Corruption: error in middle of record" log notation. There doesn't seem to be any obvious problem in the chainstate directory.

I had run two copies of the Bitcoin-QT for years. Mining got unprofitable so I shut one down as I needed that machine for other work and still do. Also I moved my bitcoins to an online wallet. The one copy I kept running would wake up and run a few hours every night then shut down. I felt it was good for Bitcoin to keep running a blockchain and who knows I might someday need to send a signed message. Now this.

Reindexing the blockchain almost made the machine unusuable, slowing it down and using resources.

It's as if the developers don't want common users to have a blockchain copy.

There really should be an option to delete x weeks of blocks.
