no, it doesn't work :-(

this should be

          results=self.ZopeFind(fobj, obj_metatypes=['IPRO Knowledge 
Base Entry'])

not searching recursively else.

and here the Zope process dies on signal 11, if i only print e.g. id, 
obj.Issue it works, but when i call the 
kbeimage_search_replace()-function ->kaboom.

if i test the kbeimage_search_replace()-function manually, i can replace 
the __image.gif__ several times, but i think that the recursive call is 
causing the error.
Any re expert here, who can change the recursive function into an one 
pass function (there might be several image refs per issue)?

Thank you,
Jochen
