[ZODB-Dev] Several reports about data loss after packing

important to me (and maybe others suffering from data loss)]

Hi,

in the last weeks there were several reports (recently two reports on
zope at zope.org) about data loss after packing the ZODB. I've encountered
the problem two times in production environments for myself... and I'm
not lucky about that fact.

See:

For me all the descriptions seem to be related to:

Maybe it's only a problem when ZEO is used (I'm not sure about this).

I don't have any idea how to fix this issue, but I think this one should
be fixed as soon as possible.

Cheers, Maik
