[Zope] Re: getSlice error in wiki folder with many objects?

[Bill Seitz]

How ironic - this is ZMI code! 

This error occurs when I try to view a big folder
(thousands of zwiki pages), *or any of its individual
contents*. The particular URL I'm using as an example
is /manage_propertiesForm for the folder itself.

It happens with the same folder on 2 different
servers. Both are currently running v2.5.1, but it
started when each was running 2.3.2.
