** Fatal ** The SQLite database failed to open.

I'm getting an intermittent failure using ep-launch to run a energyplus 9.0 simulation. Sometimes no err file is generated, and sometimes this err file is generated.

Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 9.0.1-bb7ca4f0da, YMD=2019.01.03 08:16,
   **  Fatal  ** The SQLite database failed to open.
   ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination:
   ..... Reference severe error count=0
   ..... Last severe error=
   ************* Warning:  Node connection errors not checked - most system input has not been read (see previous warning).
   ************* Fatal error -- final processing.  Program exited before simulations began.  See previous error messages.
   ************* EnergyPlus Warmup Error Summary. During Warmup: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors.
   ************* EnergyPlus Sizing Error Summary. During Sizing: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors.
   ************* EnergyPlus Terminated--Fatal Error Detected. 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min  1.03sec

I have no idea what's causing it. Everything was running fine yesterday. I'm hoping it just goes away, but any idea what I can do to troubleshoot?

Here is the whole err file. Not all of it was overwritten, and there are a ton of characters notepad++ is displaying as NUL.
