got some similar problem, when I want to consolidate a file, it says "database disk image malformed" and after that Live 6.01 is shutting down. I think that appeared now that I re installed my NI Komplete 2 - but I am not sure if it has to do with that. Live 5 on the same system works.
SO i hope anyone can help.

....and I got a reply:

They told me to remove all Index and .db files from
C:/Documents and Settings/your user name/Application Data/Ableton

Best way is to do a windows search for "Index". You get a folder named "Index" situated the path above. Delete it (or better move it to somewhere else) with Live shut down. Then restart Live. Worked for me concerning the browser search in Live. Seems to solve other problems
with the mentioned error message, too.
