Thanks for your reply. Not sure really that the object itself is
changing in my case - I keep a list of names (ordered) of elements
belonging to a folder, and my iterator simply holds the "current" name.
I do modify the object pointed to, in each iteration, but I assume
that the elements of a BTreeContainer remain ordered (by name).
Besides iteration/modification works for a single user. I was wondering
if anyone could suggest techniques for debugging this sort of problem.
In any case, after reading thru the docs, I see strong recommendations
about not using the session to store rapidly changing values, so I am
going to switch to using cookies instead - maybe that will fix the issue,
though I would have really liked to understand what was happening in
the first place.
Roy.
