[Zope-dev] memory eating Zope..

Hi there!

I got another problem with my Zope server and that seems to be
a memory hole.. 

I am using Zope 2.3.2 with Python 1.5.2 now on SuSE 7.0 (this
seems to solve the hanging problem, which appeared on 7.1) and
I use Python Script, ZSQL methods, ZMySQLDA and ZPatterns.

Now using top I see over time how the memory consumption of the
zope processes grows, which means I have to restart once a day
as it then becomes too slow..

When looking at the refcount in the debug section I see the following:

Acquisition.ImplicitAcquirerWrapper: 7509
DocumentTemplate.DT_Util.Eval: 719
Products.ZPatterns.Expressions.Expression: 716
ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.HTTPRequest: 457
ZServer.HTTPResponse.ZServerHTTPResponse: 450
ZPublisher.BaseRequest.RequestContainer: 447

So Acquisition.ImplicitAcquirerWrapper seems to be referenced
quite often (this is in an early state..)

So does anybody know what this might cause? Or maybe how to track that
problem down? 

(seems to be a long way with that server to become it stable.. ;-)

Thanks in advance!

Christian
