Discussion in "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" suggests that this problem cannot occur as described with a POSIX fork implementation. I observed the problem in a different setup and concluded from the Linux "fork" manual page only that Zope's "asyncore.mainloop" thread will suffer from the same problem. I did not observe the behaviour in this setup and it is well possible that it cannot occur. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
