I don't know, but if I were you I'd try running for a while on entirely
different hardware.

Found only one previous report of this, against Zope 2.6.1, some ZODB 3.0.1
beta (unclear exactly which), and Berkeley DB:
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zodb-dev/2003-May/005195.html
Jeremy made some suggestions a few msgs down, but there was no followup from
the OP and no resolution.

Haven't seen a report of this before. It's trying to load state for a ghost
object, but the oid has been invalidated, so (because of MVCC) it's trying
to load state that _was_ current at the time the transaction began. The
assertion is griping because the non-current state it loaded doesn't appear
to have a sane validity range (that `end` is None is claiming that the old
state is still valid, but that can't be true if the oid has in fact been
invalidated).
Smells like an internal MVCC bug to me.
Jeremy, the code at the start of _setstate() looks fishy: any idea what the
intent was?:
# There is a harmless data race with self._invalidated. A
# dict update could go on in another thread, but we don't care
# because we have to check again after the load anyway.
if (obj._p_oid in self._invalidated
and not myhasattr(obj, "_p_independent")
and not self._invalidated
):
# If the object has _p_independent(), we will handle it below.
self._load_before_or_conflict(obj)
return
Specifically, how could:
obj._p_oid in self._invalidated
and:
not self._invalidated
be true at the same time? The latter says _invalidated is empty, but the
former can't be true if _invalidated is empty. Offhand, then, unless we're
_counting_ on a thread race here ;-), it looks impossible that the body of
this `if` could execute.
I don't have a reason to believe it's directly relevant to Chris's problem,
it's just that I got baffled by the first thing I looked at ;-)
