You know the "Debug" item under "Control_Panel"?

   It may help you to find out what type of objects leaks.
   This, in turn, may help you to locate the culprit.

Why does you Zope die at 240 MB. Is that the amount of available
virtual memory?

Zope probably still contain some memory leaks.

We still use Zope 2.1.6 and there are several known leaks.
Nevertheless, Zope only grows very modestly and could
run for weeks unless we had frequent problems with the
Oracle database...
