[Zope] HELP NEEDED - EXTREMELY URGENT (Zope on NT4 SP4)

Today I tried to move my nealy-finished Zope application (will post a
testimonial
when it's online) to our customer's brand new
super-duper-Compaq-PII-400-RAID1
server running Windows NT4 Server SP4 -- and bought exclusively for our
application.

My problem: Zope won't run at all. On running freshly installed
start.bat 
_with_the_builtin_database_ the following  traceback appears:

[...long traceback]
  File "C:\Programme\Zope\Koelnzope\lib\python\BoboPOS\SimpleDB.py",
line 1332,
in read_index
    raise DatabaseError, ('Corrupted data record at %s' % pos)
DatabaseError: Corrupted data record at 9

The Zope install itself seems ok - I installed the identical file
successfully on several 
NT4 Workstation SP3 machines. So I can't believe the reason is really a
corrupted
database. I will try to make a test installation on another NT4 Server
SP4 box to see 
if that is the reason.

The server itself is included in a large (several hundred) server pool
with identical basis 
setups and managed homogenously via SMS. I'm running start.bar with
local 
administrator rights and unrestricted access to the Zope installation,
but according to 
the rest of the network machinery the permissions of the test account
are rather
restricted. But this propably shouldn't change anything.

Did anyone ever experience something similar? 
Assumptions..guesses..any ideas appreciated - I'm pretty desperated
because the
whole thing should go online on monday, I have no server access on
weekend, and 
there's quite a lot depending on it.
