Some mornings, and once in a while, our site gets backend errors from squid, meaning our zeo clients are down. But we have them restart every hour on the half hour. Sometimes the parent process has died out but the children processes are still there. So even if the client restarts it cannot complete because there are children still there.

A bug in Python, only fixed in Python 2.4... Search Python's bug tracker at Sourceforge for "signal handling, linuxthread". You should find the bug report and a patch -- in case, you want to fix your Python 2.3.x yourself. -- Dieter
