[Zope-dev] zope.security in the KGS

[John Murphy]

We recently were bit by a segfault bug in zope.security
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope3/+bug/181833) when migrating an
application from Python 2.4 to 2.6.  The newest zope.security (3.7.1,
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.security/3.7.1#id1) has a fix for the
bug.

We noticed that the KGS 3.4.0b2 uses zope.security 3.4.0 and KGS
3.5dev uses zope.security 3.6.0, both of which are vulnerable to this
bug.  It would be great if the fixed version was incorporated into the
KGS soon, as segfaults during garbage collection are pretty serious --
not to mention tough to track down :)
