This suggests to me you might have the same phenomenon I experienced two
days earlier. I had two Zope installs: 2.0.1 and 2.1.3. A week ago we had a
MSSQLServer 7.0 crash. After rebooting the NT Server MSSQLServer was back,
but our Zope 2.0.1 install was not available anymore. The 2.1.3 service was
servicing al right. The python processes used 100% cpu time al of the time
because zope was restarting continuously. A reinstall of zope 2.0.1 started
manually showed that it died in a winsock error. Eventually we installed
2.1.6 and the problem was gone. I don't know why.
