You just have to restart the server (or connect to another one).

A running server cannot start a game a second time, because it isn't
clear whether all memory structures will be properly freed/reinitialised.
Recently I saw some discussion on the list on this problem, so there
may be progress soon.

This is also the reason there is no /load command to load a game into a
running server.
