Several months ago, someone reported (zope-dev mailing list) a hole in the
database adapters transaction handling. Jim confirmed the bug.

When my memory is right, the hole means that database transactions
may be hanging, Zope forgets to either commit or abort them.

I does not look like your problem, but maybe the two problems
are related...
