[Zope] Zope Server Crashes

[Anthony Baxter]

Ok, couple of things:

Do you get core files when Zope crashes? If so, can you get a gdb backtrace?
There's at least one known crash-causing bug in Python2.1.1 that will be
fixed in Python2.1.2 - it's pretty obscure, but it can happen. 

Without a gdb backtrace, it's very very hard to say what the problem might
be.

Make sure that any external packages you're using (database adapters, in
particular) have been upgraded to python2.1.
