I have no idea. I was hoping somebody here could point me
to some techniques to find that out.

The one remaining concrete suggestion I received from
the zope list was from Toby Dickenson, who said:

"""
It shouldnt be hard to change fsrefs to dump the oid reference chain that
leads to the dangling reference. DirectoryStorage 1.0 will do that if it
finds a dangling reference during packing - for 1.1 I plan to move that
feature into checkds where it belongs.
   
However an oid reference chain wont tell you the application-level id of the
object, but you can deduce that by looking at pickles.
"""

I haven't had a chance to do that yet.

If anyone's REALLY curious, I have a backup of the 2 GB
file that I could email you. ;-)
