Bryan Sullivan's suggestion of the DeadlockDebugger helped me to solve the problem. 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 )
