If you, or anyone else sees problems like this, 
*please* report them to support@digicool.com and include the
database file (var/Data.bbb) and the traceback, along with any information
you might have about what happened just prior to the problem.

When possible, we will send you repaired database files.

For whatever reason, we at Digital Creations very rarely see problems
like this and we are very anxious to pursue any database corruption errors
to:

  - Find out the cause and try to preven them in the future,

  - Find ways to make the software able to automatically recover
    from errors when they occur, and

  - Minimize impacts people using Zope.
