The failure after 5 minutes means that the central server didn't come 
up, but the manager (icegridnode) is still running. You'd need to enter 
bin/omero admin stop to shut everything down.

This is expected in 4.1 unless you shutdown completely.

      Error occurred during initialization of VM
      Error occurred during initialization of VM
      Unable to load native library: libjava.jnilib
      Unable to load native library: libjava.jnilib

one of the recent changes to your environment has broken your Java 
install. Do you have any idea what that change may have been?
