I have a .py+.dll module for python which performs some intensive calculations.  This module, when called from the python 2.1 interpreter, operates cleanly, and without error.  When executed via an external method, however, it consistently (but irregularly) crashes zope without any errors logged (executing zope from a command window shows an abnormal termination).  After several restarts, the correct results of the calculation will appear.

There is no common set of arguments passed to the calculation which will cause it to crash, and at times it will perform without crashing.  The system has plenty of memory, and from the looks of things, plenty of CPU.

I can provide the dll, source, and database if requested.

To see this in action: http://www.thuban.org/astro .. if you wish to replicate this, *PLEASE* attempt in the middle of the night, Pacific Time, since there are other VHOSTs running on this instance.
