Subject: [Zope] Database maintenance issues

Hi all,

I've had some interesting database maintenance behavior.  When I go to the control panel, Database Management, and "Pack" items older than 100 days, then restart zope, zope doesn't restart.  python just sucks up an entire cpu (dual cpu server, NT).  If I Pack older than 5 days, and restart, all is well and zope comes right back.    Note my database is probably about 2 months old, although it's gone through several installations of zope, starting with 2.1.3, on linux and NT.  It seems if I Pack items older than the database, I corrupt the db some how.  I'm running 2.1.6 on NT with sp5.  Any thoughts?

Thanks - Scott
