[Zope] Problem with 2.4.2 installation: RegexObject fails using old Data.fs

  When I moved to zope 2.4.2 things looked OK. I copied all my old
products in one-by-one OK too. Then I copied 
over my old Data.fs from my 2.3.2 installation. Whoops...

  This leads to quite a few errors of the form:

2001-10-26T14:30:08 ERROR(200) ZODB Couldn't load state for '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00l\x8b'
Traceback (innermost last):
  File /usr/share/Zope-2.4.2-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py, line 544, in setstate
SystemError: Failed to import class RegexObject from module re

I know that this is the new regexp mechanism, but don't know which old 
product or
item may be failing, or how to track down the problem.  After the 2.4.2 install
I tried the installation Data.fs without difficulties.

Any hints are desperately and gratefully needed.


Thanks, Greg
