Thanks, Bruce

I think I actually tried that and while it did correct the checksum, I 
think it also closed/finalized the first log file 
(00000001000000000000001) and modified the checkpoint locations which 
wasn't going to work in my recovery. There may be a way to avoid that by 
passing the correct parameters, but I found digging into the source code 
easier.

Thanks again,

Matt
