[Zope] Question about possible Data.fs corruption

[Ira Sher]

Chris,
FYI, the problem with the site seems to affect all of the tools that 
affect a particular object--Book--and all attempts to add new book 
objects or other objects related to book objects. Old objects can be 
modified, but new ones either fail, or while appearing to succeed, 
cause subsequent errors. An example of trying to add a new Book object 
causes this error:
Traceback (innermost last):
   Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish
   Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply
   Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object
   Module OFS.DTMLMethod, line 127, in __call__
   Module DocumentTemplate.DT_String, line 474, in __call__
   Module DocumentTemplate.DT_With, line 61, in render
   Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 195, in eval
    - __traceback_info__: Book
   Module AccessControl.Owned, line 123, in getWrappedOwner
ValueError: unpack list of wrong size

Apparently, the updating tools on the site simply broke at some point 
four months ago (the previous site administrator doesn't have time to 
deal with the site anymore, and can't think of anything that he might 
have changed at that time). I assume these various different errors 
have their source in a common problem or corruption.

Any ideas of how such a thing might work?
thanks again,
ira
