Somehow I've managed to get MonetDB into a state that
the sql_server does not startup sucessfully.

Steps leading up to the failure were:
1. delete 49M rows from a table
2. reload 49M rows into table using COPY INTO
3. did select count(*) on table.
4. looked at sql_logs and noticed one of the files was
approximately 5G.
5. killed monet process
6. restarted monet.

I waited for about 30 minutes and the SQL frontend
never responded.  Normally steps 5 and 6 take about 8
minutes.

Questions.
1. Is there a cleaner way to shutdown monet besides
killing the process?  I tried "commit();" before the
shutdown but that never seems to decrease the
initialization time.

2. what debug settings should I turn on to determine
what is failing during --dbinit="module(sql_server)" ?

3. I noticed that there are several (700M) .buns files
associated with a table that I had deleted all rows
from before the restart.  ls() reports a zero count
but why are the files still that large?
