This could very well be a memory error.  It would be interesting to know
if the underlying libraries could handle a dataset this large, in this
case it would not be Zope but the libraries (I can think of no reason
why python couldn't handle a 40MB object, but I can immagine a poorly
written python extension not doing this right, the old ct_sybase module
is a perfect example).  You didn't specify what database you are using.
