THis never happened to me before, but it did yesterday (zope 2.1.4 on Win95) ! This seems like a bug. As for your error: I have had to throw away a corrupted (read: one that couldn't be opened) logfile before on NT. It made it possible to restart Zope again. I have wondered what strange corruptions could happen to a logfile, but apparently this may happen at times (especially if the logfile is getting big) hth Rik
