start: starting 'test' failed: database 'test' has crashed after starting, manual intervention needed, check merovingian's logfile for details

This is the error i get when i first tried to start a database, after a clean installation of the branch Mar2011, in MacOSX 10.6.6.

The log from merovingian is the following:
