[Zope] Help! Zope Crashed and will not start up again!

[Dan Gaibel]

We're running on RedHat 7.3, Zope 2.5.1 with Python 2.1.3.

The only change I can think of was that we created a "zope" user to 
install the instance. It looks like the zope user had been removed. 
Creating a new zope user seemed to fix the problem. Does this make any 
sense?

We've switched to the backup server, and we're calling the problem an 
"opportunity" to upgrade to 2.7.1. Hopefully we won't run into an 
entirely new set of problems with that.

Much obliged,

Dan
