RE: MKACTIVITY ERROR 200 OK during commit

From: Patrick Smears <patrick.smears_at_ensoft.co.uk>

Hi,

I've come across another instance of the problem described in the email
below (quoted in full, since it was from a few months ago). Basically, when
a commit is attempted, a message "Commit failed MKACTIVITY of ... 200 OK"
message is displayed and the commit fails. Retrying the commit immediately
often succeeds. In my case the versions are as described below.

Searching the archives I did find one thread with a similar error, but the
only response I saw referred to case-sensitivity issues, and that wouldn't
seem to apply here since (a) both systems are Unix-based and thus
case-sensitive, and (b) that sort of ptoblem shouldn't go away on a retry...

Does anybody have any insight into what might be wrong? I can provide more
details / debugging if needed.

Many thanks for your help,

Patrick
