Yup, just discovered this myself. :-) I put a buggy dtml expression in the
document and Zope displays a default message rather than the custom one
I've generated - removing the buggy stuff brings the custom version.

Thanks to Martin for pointing me to the 404 handling on zope.org, I've
solved the initial problem I was having with getting changes recognised in
the standard_error_message in Zope's root, and now have it mailing a basic
error report to the webmaster.

There are a few issues Chris noticed when he was doing some stuff, but I'm
going to take a look at these further before posting more on the subject.


Cheers,

John
