[Zope-dev] How to report stuff with the collector down?

[Chris McDonough]

Hi Lennart,

I suggest sending your plea for bug reporting as well as the bugfixes
themselves to Ken Manheimer (klm@zope.com).  He is the person responsible
for creating the replacement for the collector.

Thanks for the bugfixes!
