- Kill the server if it is still hanging around.
- Set the date to beyond the time you had earlier.
- Use rvmutl to truncate all pending operations in the RVM log.
  (substitute `logfile' for your RVM log file or partition)

    > rvmutl
    * open_log <logfile>
    * status
    Status of log: /home/clement/linuxobj8/rvm-src/tests/logfile
    log created on:        Tue Nov  4 1997 17:31:10.244793
    log created with:      RVM Interface Version 1.3  7 Mar 1994
    (more display omitted ...)
    * recover
    * quit

- Set the date back to normal.
- Reinitialize the RVM log only!
    > rvmutl
    * i <logfile> 1M
    * quit

- Restart the server.

Maybe the date change isn't even necessary, but the truncation and
reinitialization definitely is.
