I believe that is python's octal representation of an internal object
index.  The 'could not load state' means the ZODB tried to load
the object from disk storage and could not complete the operation.

I'm getting those on my own database and haven't yet had the time
to track down where they are coming from.  I fear some sort of
database corruption, but so far the system has continued to function
despite these errors.
