Interesting. I have seen ImageFile() images (these are taken from the
filesystem and not from the ZODB, and are I think just like the ones
used in Zope's management interface) which did not work on a
FreeBSD server despite working perfectly on Linux. 

Changing these to Image() objects -- stored in the ZODB --
solved the problem.  That would seem to confirm the file-
descriptor idea, *if* FreeBSD somehow has more limited
file descriptors.

This was also a "fakeroot jail" system. Is it possible that the file
descriptors would be limited for the whole system rather than
for each jail?

Cheers,
Terry
