[Zope-dev] Re: Core Dump (Zope 2.7, Python 2.3.3, FreeBSD 4.5)

It does sound suspiciously like the freebsd python issue. What do you 
get in the event log when python crashes ? Is it SIGSEGV(11)/SIGBUS(10) 
or whatever ?

This tends not to get triggered with a zeo debug prompt, for whatever 
reason.

To find out, you could:

- rebuild python with a very large stack - 1Mb *should* be enough

- rebuild python with debugging symbols, then run python/zope with gdb 
and see what the stack trace says when it crashes.

- sprinkle the zope code with log statements until you narrow down where 
the crash is happening. If it's the stack thing, it's probably in a call 
to the re module.
