Mysterious Netscape Upload failure
After banging my head on it for a couple of days, I just resolved a really ugly problem for any Zopista who uses Netscape: any form which contains a file upload button was timing out, failing to send data to Zope (e.g., I couldn't create DTMLMethods!). The underlying cause of this was Netscape's poor tempfile hygeine: their file upload control handler was creating tempfiles, which it then never bothered to clean up. Eventually, it exhausted the tempfile namespace, at which point it looped pointlessly trying to create a tempfile with an unused name. I tried several reinstalls, tweaked preferences, all to no avail. The solution was to scrub the temp dir of all the ns*.tmp files -- everything is hunky-dory, now.
