Basically, we have a process which can (legitimately) fail for a number of
reasons. When this happens, an exception is raised and the transaction is
aborted. In short, we're taking advantage of Zope's transactional nature.

We then got unpleasantly surprised when we kept on getting the File too large
errors. We found a 2048Mb Data.fs which packed down to about 50Mb ;-)

I dunno if that classes as more of a problem, but it's not very ncie from our
poitn of view :-S

cheers,

Chris
