Python BSCW Server Error AttributeError: altzone

[Kieran O' Sullivan]

I am running BSCW on SuSE Linux 5.3 with Apache 1.3.  The BSCW will
allow logins and creation of users but when ever a user whether they 
are an Admin or just na ordinary user tries to create a folder the
following happens.

AttributeError: altzone

Once this has happens that user is no longer able to log into the server.

Whne you try to edit details of the user, as an admin user you get

AttributeError: altzone

A user account may be deleted but then if you try to recreate that user
with the same email address the server won't accept the address.

Since the BSCW server was written in python I thaught that some one on
this list might have experience of this problem.
