Agreed.

Could be memory perhaps, but this is python2.3.3.

The problem I'm having is that these are all stock Zope products from a 
Zope2.7.0rc2 release. The traceback is coming from the Zope core.

Traceback (innermost last):
...
   Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 320, in
__render_with_namespace__
   Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 343, in _bindAndExec
   Module App.special_dtml, line 175, in _exec
   Module DocumentTemplate.DT_Util, line 201, in eval
    - __traceback_info__: RESPONSE
   Module <string>, line 0, in ?
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setHeader'

This also seems different from what Christian is reporting;

So, I'm still baffled by this.

Many thanks to all those providing more data points. I *think* this is 
a 'Zope' thing and not a 'Tone' thing, but I've been wrong in that area 
before ;)

cheers
tone.
