Defining __del__ on a persistent object has unknown effects, FWIW. A persistent object's __del__ method may be called many times during its lifetime. See http://zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FrontPage/guide/node3.html#SECTION00036 for more info. - C On Fri, 2004-01-23 at 09:55, Mario

[Mario Lorenz] we have spent most of the day tracking down obscure hangs of Zope (2.6.4rc1) under python2.1.3 on a RHEL3 machine. Based on what you say next, it sure sounds like this isn't unique to 2.6.4rc1. Did the same code work under some previous release? The infinite loop appears to be
