This is strange stuff. Have you checked the Sybase transaction log lately? When it gets full, Zope doesn't like that too much.

More generally, whenever Sybase/MSSQL fails in some unexpected way (a system error, or whatever), it makes Zope sad. And a sad Zope is a Zope that can't talk to the database without either a restart, or going to the manage screen for the DB connection and closing it and then re-opening it.
