OK.. more details... this is definitely a PoPy issue...
I reinstalled ZPoPyDA, ran Zope in single threaded mode ( ./start -t 1 ) and then deleted my ZPoPyDA database adaptor. Then I created a new one, connected to postgres, and tested it. Then when I shut down Zope, and restared multi-threaded all was working again. Soo... this leaves me with a real warm fuzzy feeling ;-). I have been moving databases around recently so I probably futzed something in the process... wierd symptoms though....
Anyway.. sorry for bothering... still interested in ideas for 'debugging' the problem, should it ever arise again.
Though I do not really see an analogy ;), I want to share this: I have found that my Zope would not start up when the servers mentioned in a database connection object were unavailable (a ZMySQLDA in my case). I "fixed" this by adding my db servers to the local /etc/hosts file with an address of 127.0.0.0. Zope would start up fine then. The db connections all appeared broken of course, but at least they were not waiting "indefinitely" for a response from the servers. This does of course not explain the quantum phenomena you saw ;) Regards, Stefan
