(I apologise in advance for the crosspost, but I think this is a valid question on both the zope-db and zope-dev lists. If you disagree, flame away, and I'll never do it again. oh, btw: flame in private mail, please) Hello! We have run into a showstopper problem here where it seems (we're not sure yet) that there is a severe problem using dates returned from the Oracle DA adapter. Other possible culprits include LocalFS, Transparent Folder, Formulator and the source release of Zope 2.4.1. The problem is that Zope either dies, core dumps and dies, or slows down to a crawl. We are using the Zope 2.4.1 release, with Transparent folders and LocalFS, latest, and a sligthly modified Formulator. There are about 2-6 people working and developing in it during all hours of the day (24 hours). Unfortunately nothing shows up in any of the logs, so they are of little use; I don't even have a traceback so display. We *think* we found sometign pointing at LocalFS in one of the coredumps, but we are lowly non-unix programmers, and have no idea if this is accurate info or not. It could just be un-collected garabage memory. Is anybody noticing anything similar, or if you have any opinion on what might be going on, please reply; we are in DS mode here (we are having a prototype presentation during two weeks, starting tomorrow) and are feeling a bit desperate.
