THis never happened to me before, but it did yesterday (zope 2.1.4 on Win95)
! This seems like a bug.

As for your error: I have had to throw away a corrupted (read: one that
couldn't be opened) logfile before on NT. It made it possible to restart
Zope again. I have wondered what strange corruptions could happen to a
logfile, but apparently this may happen at times (especially if the logfile
is getting big)
