Sounds like your system clock was set to 2006-07-06 
at some time in the past.  AFAIK, ZODB can't cope with
time going backwards. Worse, somebody may have packed while
the time was set incorrectly.

Unfortunately I have no suggestions short of exporting
everything and importing it into a fresh instance.
How painful this will be is directly proportional to
the size of your database :-\
