Yup. Mostly if not only from the ZODB.

What does that flag do? I can compile my stuff with Python 2.5.1 just fine.

I've heard of another report where a MemoryError would occur with PYthon 
2.5 on Linux x86 64bit. I don't have access to such a machine, 
unfortunately. It would be great if somebody with some C debugging 
skills could check this out. It might already be good to know whether it 
only occurs with zope.app.container, or also with other module that have 
C extensions.

Note, this isn't a bug of zopeproject :). It just shows that Python 2.4 
is still the only blessed platform, for a good reason.
