Max, Thanks for writing back about this...in answer to your questions, yes, the product has worked without incident over a period of years on maybe twenty occasions. It's a zClass product. CPU doesn't do anything remarkable when I view the page on the site (though along with the index page becoming inaccessible, the page with the particular object doesn't update to various parts of the site, and instead must be navigated to as a URL (I see an error in the log saying KeyError: '105586687914' for the object that is the author just edited). This happens regardless of text being used or the particular author object being updated with this product. Previous objects of the same type can be edited without any problems. Any other thoughts much appreciated ira On Mar 3, 2004, at 6:10 PM, Max M wrote:
A view on an object should not be able to destry the ZODB. The problem is most certainly in the "readers guide". I suspect it does something badly. Has this product ever worked. What kind of product is it? a zClass or a Python product?
Does the cpu go to a full 100%? It could be caused by a recursive function somewhere in the product.
You could also have a race condition somewhere, where a lock is being used even though it shouldn't be. The strangest things can happen with homegrown Products :-)
