Hi all! I just wanted to give a heads-up that I found a nasty fatal bug when serializing and deserializing PyStringMap instances in Jython 2.2.1. Essentially, if the size of the PyStringMap is one of a small set of prime numbers and the instance is deserialized and serialized, then calls to __finditem__ may result in an infinite loop. The details and a script to recreate the problem are here: http://bugs.jython.org/issue1098 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/
