was working happily on the server, when all of a sudden it keeled over and didnt restart automatically. so, i went to restart it manually, and got the following error message: ---------------- charizard:/usr/local/zope/z1# Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/local/zope/z1/z2.py", line 554, in ? exec "import "+MODULE in {} File "<string>", line 1, in ?
