Yes, that's right. It's an internal system.

I can't reproduce this problem with a fresh 2.4 checkout. Maybe they are running some 2.4 alpha oder beta version. This functionality in the released Zope 2.4 versions is working.

I'm running CVS: Zope-2_4-branch, as the subject states. As of today. I'm mentioning this so that if there _is_ a problem in the current CVS (there's been a number of CVS commits related to catalog on that branch lately) it can be fixed before the next 2.4 release. -- Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
