Im not sure. You may have to do some debugging here.


One of the variables referenced on that line must be a unicode object.

'ob' seems unlikely to be the cause, because it calculated from a list of oids 
a little earlier. 'e' seems unlikely too, because it is generated by pickling 
extension data in BaseStorage.py

'u' is the user name and 'd' is the transaction description. These seem likely 
to be the cause. Im not sure exactly where these come from in Zope3, but I am 
sure they shouldnt be unicode.

I hope that helps,
