android - AAPT failing with error code -1073741819

Question

Building the project throws the following error from AAPT. I've rebuilt the project, but it is still failing. I can't find any references anywhere to what this error code actually means. I'm using Java 6, and Android tools r19 in IntelliJ with ActionBarSherlock v4.1.0.

I/O error: Command
"C:android-sdk-windowsplatform-toolsaapt.exe package -m --auto-add-overlay --extra-packages com.actionbarsherlock -J C:UsersOllie.IntelliJIdea11systemcompilerproject6.b9f5599b.generatedaaptProject.9617c193production -M C:/Users/Ollie/Documents/Dropbox/Tech/project6/Source/project6/AndroidManifest.xml -S C:/Users/Ollie/Documents/Dropbox/Tech/project6/Source/project6/res -S C:/Users/Ollie/Documents/Dropbox/Tech/project6/Source/actionbarsherlock/res -I C:android-sdk-windowsplatformsandroid-14android.jar"

This build failure started happening after I added a dependency from my project to the ActionBarSherlock library project. If I remove that dependency, the project builds fine. If I add it back, it fails again.

I had this problem under windows, I fixed it by removing a @+id in a style item definition in the styles.xml. I spoke to someone else who didn't know exactly why but had found using +id in style files to often cause problems.
