Just to add:

I'm running Zope 2.1.2 on RedHat 6.0 and gets the same error :-(
I started using the database with one the last betas before 2.0.0 (b3 if
I remember correctly) and has been upgraded with most releases.

A few packs with different time threshold made my Data.fs go from 11MB
to around 350KB. Most my site was gone totally and it wouldn't restart.

Fortunately I had an good backup from the night before.
