I am seeing a problem in Zope 2.6.1, freebsd4, Python 2.1.3 (with thread patch) when using versions. I have modified objects that ZMI thinks are locked (they show the red-diamond when I'm working in the version, and the red-diamon / padlock when I'm not), even though I saved those changes, with a comment, from the Version management panel. Indeed, I cannot save the changes from the Version ZMI: it says there are no unsaved versions. Yet Zope thinks there are unsaved versions, as witnessed by the presence of the lock icon when I working in the version. The Version undo panel shows my saved versions! Evidently there is a disconnect here somewhere. I have seen thinks like this, too.
It happens when your browser sends the version cookie (its called something like "ZopeVersion"). Ensure, no cookies of similar name are send to Zope and see whether the problem disappears. The "version management" in "Control_Panel" is a reliable source of information about versions and how to save/quit them. Dieter
