Database error when changing membership levels

Hi I've searched hi and low for a fix here in the forums but I'm exhuasted.  I'm running Dolphin 6.1.6 and I have not had any errors from my site or email. But a few days ago I changed my membership levels in the admin panel to turn off Free Mode and Promotional Memberships.

Well now I'm receiving a bug report email which states:

Database error

Is anyone familiar with this error?  All input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes i have seen this before too. i have test dolphin 6.1.6 on 3 different installs and without any mods or heavy changes in the settings i get this error like twice a month. today i got it 5 times so it might be getting worse. i did not disable free mode or anything. here is my lastest error:
