[Zope] So...Zope Really DOES Choke And No One Knows Why?

[Ben Ocean]

Wonderful, just wonderful. Ahh, the joys of being on the cutting edge. So 
if my installation of Zope chokes regularly-- like every few hours-- and 
apparently I'm not alone, then I guess the only way to take care of the 
problem (until someone nails it in the source code) is to write a cron 
script that tests, I reckon, port 8080, every 5 minutes or so. How do I 
test this? ping won't do it. Does anyone have a cron script written that 
they'd care to share?
TIA,
