This error is produced by a corrupt request.pck, not pending.pck. There
are reports of this from time to time, so possibly there is a bug
somewhere that causes the corruption.

It might help to find the underlying problem if you could move the
offending request.pck aside, and dump it with bin/dumpdb, and report
the dumpdb output.
