Actually, I believe several people have reported that Zope *hangs* on them,
for unknown reasons.  I didn't see a corroborative report of Zope *crashing*
on them.  These are likely (at least) two distinct problems.

I'd like to help you.  I'd like to help everybody, actually.  But I can't
without a little help from you.  Providing a bug report that says "Zope
crashes/hangs on me, I can't establish a pattern, it happens at all times of
the day, and I haven't spend any time narrowing the symptoms down any
further" is a bug report that I can't do much with.  I can ask you for more
information (which I've done), but otherwise I'm fairly helpless.

We've solved these sorts of problems in the past with help from folks who
were able/willing to narrow down the problem to a replicable test case.  If
you can spend the time to do the same, we can likely solve it or at least
provide a workaround.
