Please try running Zope without the ZMySQLDA and see if that
has any effect

Actually, the var directory.

I'm confused.  Are you saying that you have a working setup
that, asside from having ZopeHTTPServer die, is not having 
problems?  How does this relate to the broken site.

For starters, please send the var directory containing the non-working
Data.bbb files as a gzipped tar file.

Right. Please send to jim@digicool.com.
(Note that I didn't CC the list in my message to you.)

Yes. jim@digicool.com.

Did it stop dying?  When?  Was it related to the use of MySQLDA?

The Data.bbb files cover it.
