I've solved this now by adding a method to SquishSite:

    def getThread(self, index):
        """A nasty hack since intSet's became protected in Zope 2.2.0"""
        return self.thread[index]

This is nasty 'cos it means everyone with old Squish Sites will haveto
change them :(

Anyone got anything better?

cheers,
