I believe this has been filed as a bug. I don't know of an easy workaround off the top of my head, though going into the item and removing anonymous READ privileges on the bitstream ought to do the trick. (Maybe the withdraw code ought to do this by default?) > We also discovered that when an item is withdrawn the browse function in > dspace throws the following exception. What version are you running? I thought that had been fixed round about 1.4.1. (Plied with sufficient strong drink, I can be convinced to tell the story of how that bug bit me...)
