What I've observed is that I'm running Zope on Linux and accessing it from
a browser on a Windows box. I can create empty File objects and file
objects containing _text_ files without a problem, but as soon as I try and
include or upload an _.exe_ file it barfs with the commit_sub error.
I'm wondering whether there's something occuring inside the .exe file
that's playing up with the storage mechanism, maybe some kind of terminator
or something...

(I tried uploading files from Solaris and uploaded text files from there
fine, so I was thinking it was a windows problem, but upon trying them text
files worked under windows as well. It definitely seems to be an exe
problem instead.)
