That's generally very good advice, but in this particular case, I think
it won't work. My guess is that he's got a missing TIP (transaction
inventory page). On scenario is that the system was running with forced
writes turned off and crashed - possibly due to a power failure - with a
few pages at the end still in the system cache and not on disk.
