- 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)

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