I've tried this again. When I access the manage page, an Import/Export tab at folder / comes up, and then Python.exe dies with an NT exception which is a stack overflow :-(
Same thing happened with 2.2.0b1.
Graham, Do you have another (clean, preferably SP4) NT machine available to you to test with? I cannot reproduce on any of a fair number of NT boxes available to me, which leads me to believe that either: 1 the problem is a difference in our Zope installations (i.e. installed products) or 2 we each have a different set of gremlins active in our NT installations (1) should be fairly simple to diagnose. If you install a fresh, clean b2 on your NT box and start it with the *default* database and _no_ third party products installed, do you get these odd crashes? If not, then the next step is to determine which product is activating the problem. If you still crash with a totally clean install and using the default object database, then I don't know what else to do but assume (2) :(.
Also, if I try to access any pages that use SQLSession ( an older version ), I get authentication challenges from ZopeSecurityPolicy.py when I use the getName() method of the session object. Hopefully this will go away if I upgrade to the latest version.
Hopefully, but there is a possibility that some products may need to be updated to behave correctly in the tighter security policies in 2.2. I have as action for me to post a guide for product developers on monday that advise product authors on how to update their products if they are affected.
