The crashes might be connected to a bug found in Python that will be 
fixed in 2.1.2 and a bug found in Zope 2.4.X (actually in the Restriced 
Python package).  The combination of Zope 2.4.4 (forthcoming, I believe) 
and Python 2.1.2 (in rc1 state right now) might help things.  Of course 
the symptoms you see might be totally unrelated too. ;-)

I'm not sure what this is.
