A monet database we have created will not start with the following error:

sudo monetdb start dbprod
starting database 'dbprod'... FAILED
start: starting 'dbprod' failed: database 'dbprod' did not initialise the sql scenario

Is it possible to recover from an error like this?

Here is the relevant log file portion.
