Hi Matt, Leo....
Pythonlabs found this today after much assistance from the folks on #zope on the irc.openprojects.net system; particularly, Leonardo Rochael Almeida's assistance has been extremely valuable in isolating this problem.
And jus to say it again : thank you all again!! You've made a customer very happy again!
This is an intermediate workaround until Pythonlabs develops an official fix. However, by using this workaround, you do not need the specially modified ZServerPublisher module I coded.
Will this patch be included in the next Zope binary releases? I could build a zope for on a particular environment, but it would be alot easier to upgrade all customers with the new binary release. Anyway : In other words : if this is added in the official Python release, the bug is cleanly resolved? -- martijn jacobs east site
