Re: [Zope] change variable

I remember a few threads that said that REQUEST.set can give memory leaks. Chris, could you give us the correct story about this?

I'd like to, but I'm not certain that I know for sure... adding objects as attributes of REQUEST *shouldn't* cause leak, but there are so many objects that themselves hold a reference to REQUEST in Zope, that it's feared that it's eminently possible to create a circref using REQUEST.set. It would be nice if somebody wanted to spend the time to figure out when and if this could happen. - C
