Server crashes after start

[ecoboff1]

After the first update today, the server was working, i then closed the server and restarted it later before updating, and now it automatically shuts down. According to the logs:

[21-Jul-2013 17:35:45] STDERR: [ERR] WARNING: USING EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN HOOK

In the 0.0938: Meta Items & new factories update, it was said that schema removed the emergency shutdown hooks, so why is this ocurring to the server?

I can't seem to do anything to fix it either.

Any ideas?

Basically my folder \'server-database\' is corrupted, or something, as this is preventing the server from running.

Is there anyway of recovering specific entities from this folder, or restoring the folder so it can work again?

The file FACTIONS.fac is the corrupted/broken file, without it the server runs, however our ships don\'t show up???

i have no idea why, or how to recover the ships.

Schema what makes up a ship in the game? what am i missing if the entity files are there, the catalogue file is ther and the index folder is there?
