I've been using the foreground bitcoinjs process and while downloading the blockchain, the process stalls at some invalid yet repeating block information and doesn't continue at least within 30 minutes. I then Ctrl-C to quit. Subsequent attempts to 'bitcoinjs run' result in:

error: Error while initializing block chain: Error: Corruption: checksum mismatch

I've had this happen a couple of times so I'm looking guidance on a better way to shutdown the process if it stalls. Otherwise, should I be running bitcoinjs in background mode for the initial blockchain download?
