This remark was just stupid. There is nothing with BSD except there are some known issues you need to consider when compiling Python (at least there were some issues in the past).
Sorry, I disagree.
Look back over the list archives, it seems common for people to have problems with Zope on BSD which aren't experienced by those using linux.
I agree with Andreas. There was a single problem which affected many BSD Zope users: The stack area for threads was too small by default and let Zope experience a C stack overflow. Quickly, a port was available that fixed this problem -- but unaware users still used the broken Python. The problem was however fixed a long time ago by Python explicitely requesting a large enough thread stack... -- Dieter
