I noticed something really weird yesterday related to a ZClass based
product.  I don't know if it will help you or not, but here goes.

I was editing the myclass_addForm form that gets called by the factory. 
For some weird reason, my edits weren't showing up when I went to create
a new instance of my class.  I noticed, however, that if I created a new
folder and then tried adding the class there, I would get a more recent
version of my changes to the myclass_addForm.

That was yesterday, where I was working under IE5.  Today, the problem
has gone away, and things are all behaving normally again.  However, I'm
working under Netscape 4.7.  Coincidence?  I don't know, I don't have
access to the machine I was using yesterday.

Are you working in IE5?  As a wild-and-not-based-on-any-facts guess, I'm
wondering if the difference in behavior between my two browsers is due
to the recently added WebDAV support....  That's the only thing I can
think of that would account for the radically different behavior between
my browsers (there may be others).
