[Zope] Can't save Version in 2.6.1, please help!

[Troy Farrell]

What's bothersome is how it is not working.  If versions are really a 
problem, they should be removed until they work and are not causing data 
loss.  We shouldn't say that Zope can do versionning, but don't use it 
because you might loose data.  Perhaps one of the versions gurus has 
some insight for us.
