[Zope] Mutiple images don't always show up

Hi,

I have observed that in some Zope installations (I am using Zope 2.1.6 
through PCGI on Linux, my browser is Internet Explorer 5.5), if I have more 
than 4 or 5 images (currently I have one page with 12 GIF images), sometimes 
not all the pictures show up. If I reload the page, the problem is often 
fixed.

I have seen similar situations both with static images and dynamic images 
(images generated by Python programs.) I am not sure whether the problem is 
in the browser, in the Zope server, or in my ISP.

Has anyone seen something similar?

regards,

Hung Jung

PS- related to this, I also know that for Zope 2.1.x there is some thread 
competing write problem: when two threads (from different browser windows) 
compete in writing, one browser window does not receive any response. I know 
Zope is supposed to abort one of the threads and restart it, and matter of 
fact I do see that happen when I insert print statements. But it's just 
strange that the browser window does not display anything. This problem 
reportedly happens with Zope 2.1.6 and 2.1.x, both on Linux and Windows, 
with IE5 and Netscape browsers alike. This could be a different problem, 
though.
