Thanks for theReply Robin,
Here's more of the story;

I couldn't figure out how to test whether 'both' pythons were hung. I 
found that I could log into the medusa FTP server easily, but once I 
did a 'dir' nothing came back. I killed the processes and restarted 
Zope (./start) again (top shows two python processes running).

It's possible that I was tinkering with a database that Zope was 
using, and (as I was doing MySQL stuff with my Python scripts) I 
presume I was using the same python MySQL library. I'll have a look 
at Andy Dustmans' new patch to ZMySQLDA and see if I can figure 
around that.

I didn't try the monitor_client.py voodoo (I don't understand how to 
use it correctly).

This is the only time that Zope 2 has locked up on my Solaris box, on 
my LinuxPPC box at home, it's happened a few times (this is with 
Solaris 2.0.0 binary release, Python 1.5.2 and 2.0.0 source release, 
Python 1.5.2 respectively).
cheers,
tone.
