[Zope] Zope instanse falls asleep :-(

[Gitte Wange]

Hello,

I have a big problem with a customers Zope instanse - almost every day it 
"falls asleep":
When you try to access their site it's like no requests get's to the site.
I try to stop the instance - and when I start it again I'm told that another 
process has already locked the database file.

Running $ps -ax reveals that their is some stale python processes mathing the 
PID of the recently stopped Zope instanse ...

The setup is:
Debian 3.0
Zope 2.6.1
CMF 1.3
And some other CMF products.

We have a similiar setup running on another machine that doesn't have these 
problems.

Any good ideas to what is happening ???
