     This sounds like your nick.db is missing.  Is there a backup file in
the data directory?  Did you run out of disk/quota space?  Services uses
twice the size of each database file while writing them in order to make
backups in case of untimely termination (it's possible, though unlikely,
that Services got the SIGHUP right as it was saving nick.db).
