[Zope] compacting growing database

[Courtland Idstrom]

I posted to the zodb list and got an answer. It was a permissions error...
It doesn't explain why the database would actually grow though. In any

Sorry about the terminology for "compacting" -- I was indeed pressing the
"pack" button.

Thanks,
