How to fix the problem:
There should be a (file) control "CloseOnExec", that tells Unix to automatically close the file like object upon an exec. ZServer should probably use it on each of its sockets. I can not see a serious application that should have direct access to ZServer's HTTP request socket. I will soon file a bug report into the Collector. Dieter
I'm on the win32 platform and thought that the problem was with my proxy software. Now I'm not so sure.
Note that what Dieter is talking about would only affect you if you were spawning an external process that inherited the filehandles of the zope process. Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
