Patch PE80-0911091
------------------

Platforms: All

* A forward-log bridge segment was not correctly restarted (#3883).

  When the dblogreset utility is used after an abnormal termination
  of the database server, it performs a startup recovery. During this
  process, a so called forward-log bridge segment is created that
  allows a dbrecover or dbrepl or fwutil process to continue across
  the previous abnormal termination.

  If for any reason the startup recovery is aborted so that the
  bridge segment is not completely created, the bridge segment should
  be restarted and completed on the next startup recovery.

  Due to an internal initialization problem, this did not work as
  intended. As a consequence, the dblogreset utility failed to start
  with a message like below if the bridge segment already exists:

  unable to create forward-log ... File exists (errno 17)
  Note: failed to restart forward-logging

  To solve this problem, the existing bridge segment must be manually
  deleted before starting the dblogreset utility.
