We think we understand the problem now.

It is cache related.

We've changed the caching policy so that the pages in question aren't cached.

The problem ocurred because:

- The product product has the *insane* policy that if any files aren't
   published, the entire product is inaccessible.

   Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a knob for this somewhere in
   CMF?

- Tim uploaded a windows exe.

- before he could change it's state, someone tried to access the product
   and got redirected to a login form.  This got cached somehow.

If we decode we do want to cache these pages, we may want a policy that
a release should not be announced until all of the files have been uploaded.
Alternatively, a number of people need to know how to reset the cache.

Andrew will have more to say about the caching issues.

I've revered the products page to be the way it was before.

I retract my proposal to make this static -- for now.
