I haven't moved to product development in 2.6 yet, maybe someone else can 
speak to this problem.

One quick way to get the same info might be to create a 
standard_error_message in this folder that returns error_tb.

The error you're getting is typically the result of attempting to perform a 
slice or index operation on an empty string or a string which is 
substantially shorter than some expected length.  Looking at the code, I 
can't see any place in the standard manage_editProperties where string 
slicing/indexing takes place.  My guess would be that it *is* one of your 
methods kicking up this error.

Do you do any error handling in this product?  If your except block is also 
kicking up an error, that could be interfering with Zope's standard error 
handling.

I'm just thinking off the top of my head here... sounds like there's going 
to need to be some detective work on your side.

FWIW,
