after installing the product ZExternalNews and PyXML I get the following error message when the Zserver starts:
2003-02-04T19:28:00 INFO(0) ZExternalNews NewsChannel[setstate], ------ 2003-02-04T19:28:00 ERROR(200) ZODB Shouldn't load state for '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x10\x9c' when the connection is closed
We have seen such a problem report recently several times in the mailing list (please search the archives (via Google)). It means that something accesses a ZODB connection which is no longer valid (open). As connections are closed when the request ends, this can happen e.g. when a persistent object was passed to a separate thread or put into a module's global namespace. The mentions posts may indicate that there is an additional potential cause for the behaviour. I do not know ZExternalNews and cannot give you specific advice. But, it may spawn a thread. Dieter
