I can now consistently make this happen. It takes about 10 seconds. I
don't know that this is the only way, but this one certainly works.

I have an instance of the DemoPortal product hanging off the root of the
Zope tree called Portal. It has maybe thirty extra images and a few
extra pages added. If I try to export it, it seems to hang from the
browser side, and Zope tries to take over the box. I know it's not just
fluff in reporting, because the original way I discovered the problem
was when the analysts upstairs all started reporting that they could
access any of our internal web-pages, not even in Zope yet, I might add,
and you see the resultant top output below. 

I have no idea why this action would cause this. Someone suggested
sending in output from manage_debug. Which I tried to do, except that
once I've shot the load on the box to hell, I can seem to load that
page, and once I do, I can't save it with any useful information,
because netscape reloads a page to save it's source. Any suggestions on
other ways I could report data to you?

Thanks alot.
Monty
