[Zope-dev] frexp error

[R. David Murray]

OK, I just tried to add a new metadata field to that 53K item catalog
I have.  I got the frexp error I mentioned in an earlier post but did
not have the actual traceback for.  So here's the traceback in case
anyone can do anything with it.  I assumed that when I added a metadata
field nothing would happen until I reindexed objects that had that
field.  Am I wrong, does ZCatalog automatically update the catalog
when a metadata field is added?

Here's the traceback (paths elided for clarity):

  Error Type: SystemError
  Error Value: frexp() result out of range 

Traceback (innermost last):
  File ...Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module

SystemError: (see above)

By the way I had the stupid file logger running and it didn't show
anything when this error occured.  Also, grepping the source I see
an error message with the above text in cPickle.  This is running
on BSDI 4.1.  Am I running into a BSDI bug here?
