My server box itself rebooted of some fatal error that apache caused, and 
naturally ircservices was not shutdown properly, nor was much of anything 
else. My services have run stable for at least 5 years now, according to my 
log which is proof of that, I haven't even had to use the log which is 
definitely apparent. However, I now have the problem that services is not 
loading anymore.

[Mar 02 23:58:52 2006] IRC Services 5.0.57 starting up
[Mar 02 23:58:52 2006] database/version4: Invalid version number (0) on 
oper.db
[Mar 02 23:58:52 2006] database/version4: Unable to read version number from 
oper.db
[Mar 02 23:58:52 2006] operserv/main: Unable to read from database! 
(code -1)
[Mar 02 23:58:52 2006] modules: init_module() failed for operserv/main
[Mar 02 23:58:52 2006] Error loading modules, aborting

I fear this may have been caused by the server's pre-mature termination of 
the process. Can the database or file be repaired?
