[freenet-support] My node won't start anymore after the computer crashed

[Level 13]

My computer crashed last night (or it was an unexpected shutdown).
Now my Freenet node won't start anymore - i.e. the animated icon
(starting...) remains running. I even left it like this for a couple
of hours (in case there was reindexing or something to be performed).
What should I do?

The log is as follows:
