The profile of this account lay on an cifs drive.
At the profile folder are all impab*.mab files and the prefs.js hold all adressbook entries.

 fhanus, do you still see this problem when using a newer version?

Also, are the *files* still there in the profile directory (on CIFS)
and that it is thunderbird which could not read the file any more?

Was the CIFS share near full status (I mean it may run out of space anytime while you were doing the task?)

It sure sounds like one of those low-level I/O error not handled properly, but
addressbook may have its own logically incorrect handling, etc.
