I'm having a similar problem on our servers.  Did you get any useful
help yet?

What we've figured out on our end is that all of the available ZServer
threads are  processing previous requests.  It doesn't seem that the
signal to cancel the request makes it down to ZServer, so the thread
continues along happily until the data from the template is ready to
send back.  We were running Apache/PCGI, but switched over to FastCGI
with similar results.

We don't actually see an error message/exception though -- our client
just blocks waiting for Zope to accept the connection.  Under PCGI the
connection between Apache and Zope might time out, at which point an
error page would be displayed saying that the resource was temporarily
unavailable.
