I don't think so -- it looks like a real problem to me.

OK, just to be sure:  you mean that you are using the head of the CMF
CVS tree, right?

That makes no sense, as syntax errors go.  If you are running
from CMF CVS checkout, try deleting (or renaming) the file
(CMFTopic\skins\topic\topic_addCriterion.py) and then 'cvs up'
your checkout;  CVS will replace the file with a new copy.

2.3.2 final should be fine.  Please let us know if getting a
fresh copy of the file helps.
