A collegue of mine succeeded today to implement an infinite DTML loop. That happens ... However, during this loop, Zope did not respond to any request. Effectively, it was in single thread mode. Zope 2.1.6 Binary Distribution for Sparc Solaris 2.6 ZOracle DA, DCOracle, Oracle 8.1.6 After several minutes, Zope reported an "infinite recursion in document template" and the world awoke from its sleep. I was unable to reproduce this at home, though: Zope 2.1.6 Source Distribution on Linux 2 No database connections. Hugh, I have been lying: I just removed the "-D" from the Linux start script, and Zope blocked during the infinite loop. The behaviour is not related to the "-D" set or unset. It just blocks sometimes and at other times, it does not.
