I'm going to attempt to contact Jeff about this. It appears that the PM database file is corrupt. None of us (Bob, Fred, and myself) have server level access needed to attempt repairs.
Have you heard from Jeff recently? He's sort of disappeared from the IRC channel; he's not even listed as an op there any longer.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
