What version of Zope is this?  A recent bug fix has been checked into
the pack function and my line numbers don't corespond with yours.  I
need to know what version of Zope you are using so that I can get the
right version of this file.

Packing does not modify your existing database file until it completely
succeeds.  During the pack, packed data is written to a temporary file
and your main file is just read from.

FYI, you are searching for the union of two search terms, 'ZODB' and
'troubleshooting' which is why you got more for the second query than
for the first.  To explicitly get an intersection, say 'ZODB AND
troubleshooting'.

That bring you back a much smaller number (0).
