Just to add another data point, we're still having issues if we catalog-as-you
go when trying to recreate our mailing list archives in Zope. As I understand
it, the guys managed to get it to work by importing 28,000 odd message and then
indexing, rather than indexing as each one was added. This was using Zope 2.3.2,
should it be expected?

cheers,

ZCatalog related ;-)
