Login hang/out of memory with server Seaside keyfile

GBS applications cannot log into servers that have been started with  a keyfile that does not have traversal permission, such as the web edition keyfile that comes with GemStone Seaside (GLASS).  You cannot login from GBS to applications that use this limited-functionality free Seaside keyfile.

Attempting to login from GBS into a server that does not support traversal does not error as it should; the login attempt hangs with infinite recusion as the login attempts to use traversal to get details on the error.  The image eventually runs out of memory and exits.

Workaround

Restart your server with a keyfile that allows traversal.  If you do not have an appropriate keyfile, contact keyfiles@gemtalksystems.com. Note that unlimited GemStone keyfiles require product purchase or other specific arrangements.
