[Zope] ZServer is not stable yet

Just wondering if this is what other people are seeing. Frequently (once
a day?), ZServer goes out to lunch and I get the following error
message:

  (102) failure during connect
  <!--
  Connection refused
  pcgi-wrapper-version 2.0a5
  -->

or sometimes, ZServer will completely die and the non-ZServer version of
Zope will start instead (what is it called, pcgi publisher?) which of
course has the wrong content because I am working on ZServer/ODB3.

In my apache error log, this is the last entry:

  [Wed Jul 14 19:27:51 1999] [error] [client 206.183.203.132] Premature
  end of script headers: /home/sites/home/web/zope/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi

I have to manually restart z2.py to get it back. I am starting Z2.py
with the -Z option to start the watcher thread, which apparently isn't
working or doesn't think ZServer is having problems.

Is this because it's still Alpha? Currently, ZServer dies way too often
to use in a production site.

Here is the command I'm using to start Zope:
python z2.py -u zope -Z var/mgr.pid &

Is this the correct usage of the -Z option?

I'm currently using Zope 2.0a4 on Linux/mips.

Thanks,
