Oh, well, zope doesn't crash, the only effect is that the file generated by avisplit is corrupted and this process returns the 335584 error code... Zope not returns nothing... Charlie Reiman said it can be the Apache timeout and I think so. I'm running Zope in front of zope with SSL... I'll continue investigate and I'll send you more feedback...

Hi Antonio,

...

Hello all: I'm having a problem with an external method that executes a heavy process. The action it tries to complete fails, (concretely, split an avifile with divx in several files using avisplit, a tool from transcode package). If the file I try to split is little, all works ok...

... as You cannot expect someone to reploduce the problem, maybe You should at least tell, _what_ fails, to get some reply by someone. (Is there a traceback? Does the Zserver crash? or hang? or what?)

just a thought. btw, I guess I cannot understand the problem as is seems Your Zope runs under MS-Win while my box runs Linux, but I do not know that either ...

Cheers clemens
