[Zope-dev] Zope 2.0B4 WebDav rename lockups on Win32

[Robert Leftwich]

I can reproduce this problem on a setup which is the same as yours. 

Also if I open any folder with an id of 4 characters or less in Zope's
management interface (not doing anything else) then attempt to open the
same folder using WebDav I get an error saying "The current operation
cannot be completed because an unexpected error has occurred". Once this
has happened WebDav cannot open the folder without shutting Zope down.
It doesn't have to be webdav created, the same thing occurs if I rename
QuickStart to Quik or Test, etc.

Is your folder id 4 chars or less by any chance ?
