In case you didn't see this in my e-mail to Andreas, this was enabled 
at compile-time by the guy who installed Python on this system...or so 
he says. Is there any way to check
that it's been properly compiled in?

Meanwhile, I just got an e-mail from my co-admin on this system, and he 
says that this
morning's crash was accompanied by the following "in the event log" 
(not sure which one
he's referring to):

MemoryError: Can't allocate memory for compression object

Does that help make sense of things?

Thanks,
Alex
