I finally tracked down my problem.  Some of the python code that I 
have written was falling into an infinite loop, and it had nothing
to do with Zope.  Of course, given how cool we all agree that Zope
is, shouldn't it prevent these stupid programming problems :-)

One question, though.  Since ZServer is multithreaded, should just 
the thread that is handling the python code that falls into the loop
get stuck?  Shouldn't the other threads keep on working?  Or does 
the one thread simply consume all of the available cycles?

Thanks for any insight on this, and thanks to all for contributing
to Zope.
