Verbatim:

"usually once per day all messages will disaapear from the interface 
without notification (performing
some background maintenance ?) then will return later (usually after a 
1/2-hr or so.)  Another
similar issue is that once every coulpe of days all messages, 
contributors, lists, attachments, and
links for "Zoe:Timeline:Today" will show exactly 19 days earlier than 
the current day.  Similarly,
it will return to normal after 1/2-hr or so.  Absolutely no rhyme or 
reason to it, or so it seems.
the "reboot windows" *ahem* i mean "rebuild indexes" seems to 
accomplish nothing more than wasting
5hrs of computing time rather than changing the frequency of these 
behaviors :)"

Weirder and weirder... :/ Lets try to track this one down :)

However, I would need more factual hints :))

Here is what happen to retrieve a user identifier:

1. The default identity is retrieved (SZIdentity.defaultIdentity(), 
SZIdentity.identityWithName())
2. If it doesn't exists yet, it get created 
(SZIdentity.newIdentityWithName())
2.1. At what point, the identity get its UUID assigned.
3. The identity UUID is converted into a string identifier. 
(SZIdentity.identifier())
4. This identifier is used by other part of the system to retrieve the 
data associated with that user (e.g. SZIdentity.objectStore()).

What could go wrong? :))

Cheers,

R.
