Yark! All of a sudden, I restart my mush (1.7.7p39) and get this:

[12/30 10:22:27] 1.7.7

If tried a couple of crude things (yanking the chatdb out of the 
directory to see what happens, etc.) with no luck. I don't mind losing 
my chatdb and starting over...is there a way I can create a blank 
substitute, just to get things running again?

Thanks,
Jeff.
