I can assure you, that the "number coercion failed" is not
raised in the above "REQUEST.set". "set" accepts any
type.

The problem arises at a later time, probably because "fSTART"
or some other computation incredient does not have the correct
type.

You know about the magic ":type" suffixes in form variables.
There is a howto about them at Zope.org.
