[Zope] Zope Crashes (memory corruption) resolved

[Dieter Maurer]

Several times, I reported to the list about memory corruption problems 
with

	Zope 2.1.6
	ZOracleDA 2.1.0
	DCOracle (as of August 1999)
	Oracle 8.1.6
	Sparc Solaris 2.7


This issue is finally resolved:

  The memory corruption occurs inside the Oracle 8 Client Library
  call OCILogoff.

  As

   * OCILogoff is only called, if DCOracle is compiled with
     -DORACLE8

   * -DORACLE8 is only needed for Oracle 8 LOB support

   * the DCOracle LOB support does not work for Oracle 8.1 anyway

  we could simple recompile DCOracle without -DORACLE8
  to get rid of the problem.


As Matt (mailto:matt@digicool.com) reported, the problem is
also avoided with a newer DCOracle version (1.3.1b1).
