[Zope-dev] aq_inContextOf/can anyone explain this zmonitor log?

[Bob Pepin]

Hi,
I just experienced some very weird behaviour from aq_inContextOf while I was
trying to get Cut and Paste to work (I had to trace to the whole security stuff
to do this, and read the C source for the acquisition stuff the figure out what
aq_inContextOf does of course... thanks for having such a great, consistent,
mature and well-documented design Zope-guys...)
oh, btw, Copy & Paste seems to work only for objects that have their User
Source at the / level because of the behaviour of inContextOf.

well, here's the log:
