SystemError: NULL object passed to Py_BuildValue
This is (almost surely) caused by an extension object
with a broken "__getstate__".
You must find out the class of this object.(e.g.
by catching the exception, printing the class and then
reraising).

Thx Dieter. Any pointers as to how to do his? I don't have a clue where 
to begin.
As I pointed out, this occurs once in a while, out of the blue,  on a 
production server (no less).
With what part of the above recommendation you need help?

  Locating the line where to place the "try: .. except:"?
  "line 413 of "ZODB/Connection.py"

  Printing the class? 
	   print type(object)
	   if hasattr(object, '__class__'): print object.__class__
    or better -- logging:

     from zLOG import LOG, ERROR:
     LOG('ZODB Connection', ERROR, str(type(object)))
     if hasattr(object, '__class__'): 
        LOG('ZODB Connection', ERROR, str(object.__class__))

  Reraising?	  "raise"
