You do not read the mailing lists? You should!

There are serious stability problems with Zope 2.4.x and Python 2.1.1.

You should consider one of:

  *  upgrade to Python 2.1.2 and Zope 2.4.4 beta or Zope 2.5

     It might be necessary to force Zope also to use Python implemented
     access control
     instead of the mode optimizate C implemented access control

  *  configure Python 2.1.1 with "--without-pymalloc --without-cyclic-gc"

     This does not fix the problem, but works at the symptoms.
     Your Zope may run a bit longer.
