[Zope] Fwd: Rename BUG

[Thomas]

Hello again List,

I have finally fixed the bug... temporarily.  I had multiple catalogs
and it appeared that Johnathon's idea worked.  (Thanks again
Johnathon)  I exported all of the Catalogs and then deleted all
of them... this enabled me to rename all my objects. <phew>

On that note though, is this planned on being fixed in the next 
release of Zope?

Thanks,
T
