Shane,

Thanks for the quick response and the great tool!  I brought the app back up last night when I realized that this was primarily related to packing.  I'll give this a shot tonight when the app is quiet and I can run a pack.

If you interrupt the pack operation while the object_ref table is being filled, the corresponding entry in object_refs_added will not be created and the next attempt to pack will try again and stumble in exactly this way. The bug has been solved by replacing entries in object_ref rather than just inserting them.  The object_ref and object_refs_added tables are only used during packing.
