[Deploying Sakai] Test & Quizzes Error

[Tom Hall]

Hi everyone.

We have just had a problem with Tests & Quizzes throwing an exception 
when an attempt was made to publish the quiz.  The problem was observed 
by both course instructors and our CTLET who provide instructor 
support.  The stack trace from the bug report is shown below.

In an attempt to help the instructor, CTLET created another site and 
copied the quiz into it (using the built in copy facility).  The quiz 
published correctly in this site.

Has anyone got any insight into this one.

Thanks

Tom
