[ZPatterns] excessive recursion error

Hi Phil,

thanks for the quick answer (explanation). The script which caused the
problem, was actually a test script, which should test how many "records"
ZPatterns can handle. In the real application this is not used. But it also
shows up, when you try to reindex the Rack like this:

<dtml-in "getAllIds()">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('i',getItem(_['sequence-item']))">
<dtml-if "i">
<dtml-call "i.propertysheets.Basic.manage_changeProperties(isPrivate=i.isPrivate)">
</dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

If you replace

<dtml-call "i.propertysheets.Basic.manage_changeProperties(isPrivate=i.isPrivate)">

by:

<dtml-call "Catalog.uncatalog_object(_.string.join(i.getPhysicalPath(),'/'))">
<dtml-call "Catalog.catalog_object(i,_.string.join(i.getPhysicalPath(),'/'))">

there is no error. So is this the best method to reindex a Rack.

Also, if this is really a Zope bug, shall we report this to zope-dev ?
