problem solved !  see below

>>> import ZODB
>>> from ZODB.FileStorage import FileStorage
>>> bad = FileStorage('Data.fs')
>>> good = FileStorage('Undamaged.fs')
>>> good.copyTransactionsFrom(bad, verbose=True)
....lots of output.....
>>> good.close()

Now Undamaged.fs has the exact same size (151584969 bytes)
as Data.fs and fstest gives no errors. I immediately 
packed my Data.fs successfully; it's now 27.7MB instead of 144.6MB

Tim - you made my day. Incredible thanks!

I'm considering moving to Directory storage anyway now.

I almost burned a CD to send it to you, but that isn't necessary anymore
now.
