Server processes were terminated at Wed Oct 17 17:04:06 2001 Reinitializing shared memory and semaphores DEBUG: database system was interrupted at 2001-10-17 17:01:24 PDT DEBUG: CheckPoint record at (0, 2271516) DEBUG: Redo record at (0, 2271516); Undo record at (0, 0); Shutdown TRUE DEBUG: NextTransactionId: 797; NextOid: 67890 DEBUG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress...

Hmm. This should have left a core dump file --- can you get a stack
