There are strange, core-dumping problems and threadrealted issues with
pythons post 1.5.2 afaik, both performace wise and otherwise.

Check the archives of zope and zope-dev. I myself generated a lot of the
messages. And, recently (this or last week) there have been more reports of
Solaris related problems...

It seems that Zope is more susceptible to these problems than other python
software. I don't really know why but I suspect that Zope is one of there
larger python apps out there and thus suffers more than other apps from
shortcomings.

I haven't heard of realted problems from the Twisted copmmunity, but then I
suspect that not too many of them use solaris on a daily basis (this is only
an assumption mind you, I might very well be wrong).
