If journal files are lost, connecting to the database may fail.

Fix notes: A new GFIX switch (-disable wal) is provided to disassociate a database from its journal files. No cleanup of the journal files or journal archive files is attempted and it is the case that committed data may have been lost. This could occur because the lost or inaccessible journals may have committed data that was never applied to the database files proper. However, it becomes possible to attach the database to access existing data contained therein.
