Public apology to Jim, Michel and DC coming up....

I tried the 'corrupt' database on my LinuxPPC box last night and it 
worked fine. Undo was there (and worked), I could add Objects and 
generally do all my Zopey things. So I'm sorry to have wasted your 
time guys.

I can only presume that when I restarted Zope on my Solaris box, that 
I was still over quota and that that might have been the cause of the 
problems.

Basically, I am even more impressed with Zope - I do a daft thing 
like go over quota, and Zope *still* doesn't wreck my system.

In my meagre defence, I'm pushing the envelope at the moment, and my 
head is woolly. We go live with a heavily dynamic Zope system here at 
Newcastle on Tuesday. We're expecting 50+ concurrent users - however, 
a major consortium site is also going live on Tuesday (at the same 
time!) with 40-50 concurrent users. Additionally, our third 
consortium site is doing a demo to some 20-30 head honchos at (guess 
what?) the same time....We're all using the same Zope database (with 
their sites using Apache Rewrite rules to get to their specific 
areas).

My initial reaction to this was WHAT!?, but by then it was too late 
as they'd booked rooms etc.

So, big apologies to the DC folk, and I'll let the list know what 
happens on Tuesday....

Tone.
