Make sure that the history.dir and history.pag (if using tagged hash)
or history.dir, history.hash, and history.index  files exist, or have
the right permissions.

0x20c400 == 2147328...  how big are your cyclic buffers?  if you want
to use anything greater than 2 gigs in size, you'll have to recompile
your innd and pass configure the --with-largefiles flag.  If you don't
feel like monkeying with recompilation, redefine your cyclic buffers
to be no greater than 2097151 1k blocks.
