We still use zope.server in production, mostly out of inertia (the app
had been using Zope 3.2, then the 3.4 KGS for a looong time, before
finally making the climb to ZTK 1.0). These are not high-volume sites.
It surprises me occasionally with weird assertion errors of this kind:

I haven't noticed any harm from this (the server keeps on serving other
requests, clients do not see any error pages), but I'd like to know what it
*means*. I thought I asked this list once, but received no reply -- but now I
can't even find my question, so maybe I only planned to ask and never got
around to it...
This error happened once in 2010 and 24 more times in 2011.
The other fun error I get (rather more often) is
2011-11-28T14:21:58 ERROR zope.server.taskthreads Exception during task

I suspect I know what this is (we do a redirect in self.update() but
self.__call__() has no check for that and renders the template anyway, but the
browser sees the redirect and closes the connection without reading the entire
response body). I haven't actually proven that to my satisfaction, but,
once again, there do not seem to be any harmful consequences (other than
mildly annoying me with these rather rare error emails).
I wish zope.server at least would let me know which request (method and
URL) was responsible for the particular task (a __traceback_info__ annotation
would make it into our error emails). Some day I might make that happen.
