Obviously, you got the wrong mainling list.

This is not a ZODB problem...

The code above should prevent a write (which would grow the storage)
when in fact nothing changed. And it looks correct.

I expect "index" is a misleading term. It is indeed the catalog
id for the catalogued object. It is *not* accessing an index
but in fact the metadata.


Beside this, your sentence is a bit difficult to parse.

Maybe you try again (in a different list, probably "zope at zope.org")
to state precisely what went wrong -- under what precise conditions.
