[Zope] Zope Eats Memory

I've been running Zope (with ZEO) on a Debian GNU/Linux box.  Just today
everything slowed to a crawl and it turned out that one python process was
taking up 75% of system memory.  Stopping and restarting Zope cured the
problem.  I'm doing some caching of DTML pages and MySQL queries.

Any idea why Zope would start doing this?  Are there any preventative
measures?

Thanks,
Chris
