I don't know, anything could lock up your site if something is waiting for a lock, for example. Use http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.deadlockdebugger to figure out what the threads are doing at this time. Preferably, trigger the dump_threads() method of that module on SIGUSR1, like the Zope signalstack product does (see http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/Products.signalstack/trunk/Products/signalstack/__init__.py for the exact code to bind the signal handler). That'll tell you exactly what each thread is busy with when you send the signal. -- Martijn Pieters _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see http://zodb.org/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
