[Zope] Problems with xml-rpc

[Chris McDonough]

Hi Juan,

Thanks for the heads up on the xml-rpc mem leak bug and fix.  I imagine
this was never put into Zope because it never made it into a Secretlabs
stable release of xmlrpclib (0.9.8 doesn't have it, and 0.9.9 is marked
as development).

I'm not certain of the other bug, but it may be worthwhile to ask
secretlabs as well as waiting for answers on this list.
