How to drop an inconsistant chunk?

After restoring a chunk from a level 0 archive without restoring the
logs the chunk remains inconsistant. We are not able work with this
chunk any more. Even dropping it is impossible. (onspaces -d <dbspace>
leads to "Dbspace is not empty", onspaces -d -p <device> -o offset
leads to "cannot drop first chunk")
There are only two solutions of this problem:
1. oninit -isy
2. Calling Informix Tech Support. They log on to the machine and drop
the chunk.
Does anyone know, what they are doing or is there any other possible
solution to this problem?
We are using Online 7.20 on SCO ODT 5.0.
Thank in advance.
