The DeadlockDebugger was crucial, and far easier to work with than I anticipated. It was quite a subtle problem - an earlier change worked fine at the time, but the deadlock started when the underlying SQL data changed. That is, an SQL query returned less results than the code was meant to work with, and there was no clause in a Python script to deal with this eventuality. So rolling back to dates when the site worked fine did not help until I understood the nature of the problem. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

If you mean with 'old' P3/P4, perhaps the CPU cooler is dead and the CPU is in reduced performance mode? Perhaps some IO controller (disks?) is failing. Or your changes weren't cosmetic.

Maybe you are experiencing something along the same lines? The DeadlockDebugger product helped me figure out what was going on http://www.zope.org/Members/nuxeo/Products/DeadlockDebugger (in my case I had buggy Javascript that caused an infinite reload loop) ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
