Local Fix:
One of the following methods may be used to attempt to work 
around the issue: 
1) Restore database from a backup image 
2) Reset log control file(SQLOGCTL.LFH) and bypass Crash 
recovery. However, db2 should be rebuild after resetting log 
control file. 
 
2) Contact DB2 Support for assistance. Transaction log may be 
patched with internal tool.
