downloaded & installed newest version Camino (1.0.3) without issues.  First time starting up, no problems.  Second time using new Camino, error message occurs stating that bookmarks cannot be read/in the wrong format.  

Subesequently, I find all my bookmarks including the ones in my bookmark bar are completely erased/deleted.

Closing & restarting Camino has full browser functionality BUT still all my bookmarks are gone/erased/missing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start camino
2.first time you get bookmark error -> "ok"
3.bookmarks completely erased, even on subsequent startups

I too had this occur to me, just a few minutes ago. I simply clicked the Camino icon to start up the app, and I got an error message, stating that the book marks couldnot be read, and all I could do was click Ok. I have been using Camino since I purchased my MacBook Pro in April. Also, I'm using OS X 10.4.8 and Camino version 1.0.3.

This is almost certainly bug 337750, so duping before it garners any more traffic of its own.
