[Zope] bizzarre management behaviour: can't edit ZClass methods

I've encountered a bizarre error.  I was editing my site
from home this morning without problem.  Here at work,
however, I'm getting key errors for *all* manage_workspace
links on DTML methods in my Products hierarchy.  (I.e., imagine
creating a ZClass and then trying to edit the index_html method,
only to get a KeyError on some property this definitely exists
in a property sheet.)  Note, I'm just trying to display the DTML
source code, not have Zope interpret it.  It's as  if manage_workspace
is showing the wrong view, trying to render the DTML rather than show
the method source.

Here's an example traceback:

Error Type: KeyError
Error Value: FirstName

Traceback (innermost last):

I won't know until this evening if my home machine is now displaying the
same behaviour - or if it's something wrong with IE5 under Win2000.
Any ideas?

Cheers,
Darran.
