[Zope] ZServer on Windows 2000 w/Apache issue

[Thomas B. Passin]

I didn't mean to literally use CF or their utility.  I just mentioned to
indicate that CF took the problem seriously.

Memory leaks aren't specific to Zope or Win2000, of course.  But it's
probably best to bite the bullet and try it out even though this "shouldn't"
be necessary.

Or, as someone else said, maybe a native database driver, if there is one
for Zope, would clear up the problem.

Cheers,

Tom P
