He had code that would only deactivate objects at the end of a loop if they were not active at the start of the loop. Its not entirely safe, but I think it mitigates the most serious risks here. ZCatalog (and others) have used this same technique for a while. -- Toby Dickenson _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
