[Zope] Re: MemoryError exception when importing a zexp file

[Ben Lobo]

Thanks for the tip. I tried increasing the swap file to 10GB but still got
the same memory error.

I'm now considering exporting the Plone site (cos that's what it is) one
piece at a time and reimporting it into a clean Plone site. Any thoughts on
whether or not this is a good idea?

Cheers

Ben
