[Zope] Zope Lockups

[Robert Leftwich]

Well. we found a solution to the problem - just upgrade to service pack
5 !
As the client was scheduled to have it done soon anyway we thought what
the hay, why not try it anyway. Lo and behold the problem disappeared -
absolutely no other changes were made and as a side benefit the
performance of Zope has increased dramatically.

I searched Microsoft's site yesterday to see if there were any known
problems running SP3 and IE5 to no avail, but who knows what the real
problem was.
You have got to love Microsoft don't you. Not !

PS Thanks for the responses, I had forgotten about the Zope debugger.
Things in Zope/Python are normally so easy that I have not needed such
low level tools !
Also I will check out the current _on_delete_object() code and upgrade
to match - can't wait until Zope 2 is out of beta.
