[Zope-dev] zcatalog and versions

Hi, I'm resending this to zope-dev because on zope nobody answered, it would be very nice if someone could step up with a small hint. Can somenone briefly explain what exactly gets locked in zope 2.3.3's catalog when it tries to index an object which is hold in a version? The whole catalog? I found some answers which indicate that it has to do with the catalog when we see version lock errors where there shouldn't be any (from a naive POV). I would like to know how far reaching these problems are, because I'm currently rewriting an application, and I might be able to work around that. Do these problems still persist in zope 2.4.x? cheers, oliver
