Please report this problem to "mailto:zodb-dev at zope.org".

There may be some hole in the ZODB's packing code.

If your unpacked storage (e.g. "Data.fs.old") is not too large
(bzip2 compressed less than 500 kB), then you can send me the
compressed file for analysis (when you like).

This is probably a different problem.

Zope 2.6.2 does not start (in development mode) when the import
of a product fails. Activate Zope logging (--> "doc/LOGGING.txt")
and see in the log file. You should see a traceback explaining
why your product could not be imported.
