9 months is a long time not to give something a proper check! That being said it's unlikely that a bottom bracket issue will be terminal. onces you've got the old one out, which might be a bitch but it will come out, one way or other. At worst you'll end up with a self threading BB which are alright.
It's a tuff lesson to learn, I got burned in the early day of eBay with a frame with a seized seat post too.
