stack size problem exclusively. I run Python/Zope with complex sites all the time (not plone tho) and once patched appropriately it never crashes unless I cause it to.
There are two solutions to this IMHO:
1. Release a bug fix in Python (hasn't happened yet, but it has been discussed several times) 2. Patch the FreeBSD python port. This is likely an excellent solution and one which could also solve the large file support issue simulaneously.
The second seems (to me) like a much, much simpler alternative. Particularly since it's only a bug that affects one platform. . . releasing a new version of python 2.1 just for a freebsd fix seems way overkill.
That is the option I intend to explore. FreeBSD's ports machinery makes this painless and invisible to the end user. -Casey
