[Zope-dev] Fault tolerance and thread-loss

[Jay, Dylan]

I'm finding that my installation is blocking all requests after awhile. By
best guess would be that threads are being used and somehow becoming
permanently blocked. When all 4 are gone then the server is useless and has
to be restarted.

Seems to me this is a real problem for fault tolerance. Perhaps a monitor
should be run on a separate thread that starts aborting transactions when
they have been running too long and there are few remaining threads.

Does this exist already?
