Turns out upgrading to 2.0.0b5 brought the "broken" objects back to life. I should have waited a few minutes before crying wolf. Duh! -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell.

Is my database detoriating? All the time now, there is a disturbing trend for objects suddenly to cease to function, and they turn up as "broken". Clicking on the object, I get this:
This object is broken because the unknown product that created it is no longer installed or is installed incorrectly. Please contact your product vendor for assistance. Note that the data associated with this product has not been lost, and will be accessible again if the product is reinstalled.
Except we're not talking about product class instances at all -- these objects are DTML Methods, images, folders!
Just now a folder that worked fine yesterday was no longer available. Augh! I suspect I'm suffering from spurious data loss, but why, and how to fix it?
This is Zope 2.0.0b1; I'm upgrading to b5 right now. If what I'm describing is a known bug, please let me know and I'll sleep a lot easier tonight.
