[Zope] Strange Zope behavior/Instability

[Rob Sporleder]

I received a server not responding error. We lost connectivity twice on
Friday as well. I setup a script to restart the server every X minutes so we
wouldn't have to worry about it over the weekend. I removed the cronjob on
Tuesday morning and it was fine until early Wednesday morning when it went
down three times in 30 minutes.

Thanks,
Rob

When you say lost connectivity, do you mean the browsers gave you back a
'Server Not Resonding' message, or was is as if Zope was just spinning it's
wheels?  If it was the latter, how long did you wait to see if you did get
a response? 1 minute, 10, 30?

This happened to me, but it caused a single process to chew CPU.  Since you
noticed no such chewing, I'll bet it's not the DTML decapitation bug.
