[Zope] This is NOT an April's Fool! Possible bug in ZCatalog ?

[Gitte Wange]

Hello,

Sorry about the long subject line but - this thing has been bugging us 
all day and I actuaaly thought it was someone making an April's Fool 
out of me :-)

I hav a setup with Zope-2.6.2 and CMF-1.3 - here there is a 
portal_catalog which inherits from ZCatalog. It has a default index 
named 'path' (which contains the path to the object)

It did contain the path untill we reindexed the entire catalog - the the 
path index in every object contained a lot of html code.
Not so good :-)

I then discovered that a person had joined the site with the username 
'path' and then the contents of his home folder got indexed in the 
'path' index - damn!

I'm not sure how you could make a fix for this, but the index method 
should somehow deal with what kind of content get's indexed into the 
indexes (IMO).

Anyone else who has experienced this - and how do you prevent it from 
happen?

Greetings,
Gitte Wange
