There have been several reports of POSKeyError and other FileStorage prob=
lems,=20
where everything starts working again after shutting down Zope and deleti=
ng=20
the Data.fsindex file. I dont remember seeing any such bugs back when=20
FileStorage's index was a plain dictionary.

So far all these reports are from people using 2.5.x. Not from earlier=20
versions (which use a plain dictionary) or later versions with Tim's BTre=
e=20
bug fixes


So, Chris, which version was this on?
