I got the source code from the SVN trunk built it and then clicked startofbiz.bat. I get a command window/ stack trace and the command window closes

the log file has the following entries
---- exception report ----------------------------------------------------------
Exception: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException
Message: Embedded service has not yet been started
---- stack trace ---------------------------------------------------------------
LifecycleException:  Embedded service has not yet been started
org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded.stop(Embedded.java:849)

org.ofbiz.base.start.Start.access$000(Start.java:52)

How do I fix this error and get ofbiz to work?

TIA
