[Zope-dev] Zope 2.X BIG Session problems - blocker - our site dies - need help of experience Zope developer, please

[Chris McDonough]

Well, I was also shamed into creating a new implementation of the
sessioning stuff that might work better under higher load.

The people that are now having problems should try to replace the file
in their Zope software home named
"lib/python/Products/Transience/Transience.py" with this one:

http://cvs.zope.org/*checkout*/Zope/lib/python/Products/Transience/Transience.py?rev=1.32.12.2.2.1

(be sure to make a backup of the original file first)

After putting the new file in place, restart Zope and see what happens. 
This stuff was just checked in, so there's sure to be some edge case
bugs, but all the unit tests pass and the UI still works.  Please report
results back here, if possible.

Thanks!
