I have a weird one here.
I've been using Zope 2.0.0 final, binary release, Solaris 5.6 since 
it came out. It's been fine.

Now it's hung. 'top' shows (my username only)
load averages:  0.03,  0.07,  0.11 
13:45:59
297 processes: 296 sleeping, 1 on cpu
CPU states: 97.1% idle,  0.0% user,  0.8% kernel,  2.0% iowait,  0.0% swap
Memory: 512M real, 8712K free, 739M swap in use, 813M swap free

  6434 nnle       1  34    0 2664K 2192K sleep   0:00  0.00% lynx

ie Python isn't taking up large amounts of CPU. I've tried connecting 
to the server using Lynx etc. and no joy. The FTP server on port 8021 
is also not responding.

I haven't *as yet* killed the processes and started new ones, as I'd 
*really* like to know what it is I've done.

The only thing I've done is to use the binary release of python to do 
some MySQL work. I haven't installed Andy Dustmans' MySQLdb-0.1.0 
yet. I used the same python installation that the Zope server is 
using. Is it possible I've done something to the 'interpreter lock' 
or somesuch...

If the outcome is that I should leave the Zope python binary well 
alone whilst Zope is running - then that is completely icebox with me.

I hate to say this, but .... help!.
tone.
