[Zope] Auto restart (at Zope's own initiative !!!)

[Keith J. Farmer]

That doesn't (to me, at least) explain why it never crashes except under
the one case, nor why I was told by zope.com that this had been seen
before with RDBMS extensions.

I'm entirely open to the idea of improper memory or reference
management, but I'd suspect that, since the extension is a constant,
that crashes would appear in all cases.  That not being the case, I
suspect the environment that's setting up the thread -- Python, in this
case.

If it *is* a matter of the extension itself, then an example of how it
should properly be done would be in order.  I've not seen any.

I don't think it has anything to do with C extensions in general (Zope=20
has lots of those, and for the most part, we think they work OK).  I=20
think it has to do with particular C extensions that are coded=20
improperly and thus cause segfaults.  A "usual suspect" in those cases=20
that there would be improper memory and/or reference management.
