Hi Garry,

Hmmm, we haven't had any reports that Zope outright crashes due to a
missing stdout.  Note that the first thing to try is to run Zope 2.3.2
final under Python 1.5.2 (the stable Zope release under the Python
platform that is recommended to run under - Zope 2.4 will be/is Python
2.X ready). If it still happens under this environment, do you think you
might be able to submit a report to the Collector
(http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector) describing the bug and crash in
as much detail as you can provide?


- C
