Hi all,

Yoikes! I have to report that following up  's report I tested this on
a file on in an IP directory (/csuite/info/Culture/New/index.html) with
identical results: any attempt to edit the file resulted in nuking it and
replacing it with a 0K empty file. We clearly need to fix this ASAP since
as soon as any IPs start trying to edit files this will result in a great
mess and a stream of queries.
