[Zope-CMF] Re: undo_form -> no content

[Sam Brauer]

I think this is actually a bug in Zope.
I added some logging statements to UndoTool.py and
found that the transactions list returned by
portal.undoable_transactions() was empty for users not
defined in the root acl_users.

I then googled for "zope 2.7 undo acl_users" and found
this:
http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1810

I applied the patch, and it seems to fix the problem I
had.  I wonder if this is a proper fix, or if there
may be some unintended side-effects.   
I'm tempted to go with it, although instead of
changing the Prefix.py file itself, I think I'll write
a little monkey-patch to replace the __cmp__ method at
runtime.
