Note that when you pack your database, it keeps the old database around
in Data.fs.old.

Hey, you have your database, so why start over. You just can't pack until
we resolve this problem.

Please send me (via private mail) your database file so I can look into this
problem. If the file is too big to mail, then put it up somewhere that I 
can FTP it. Don't forget to gzip or zip it.
