How does for example
   RestrictedPython.compiler.transfomer.Transformer: 774635
look to you? ;-)

Seriously, I am seeing this over all our projects with various versions of 
Zope and Python on Alpha/Redhat. In one project it's the BTrees, in another 
it's RestrictedPython. I assume it to be a Python GC problem on that 
particular combination, because, as I said, the very same things on Intel 
work perfectly.

So, anybody else seeing this? Anybody out there running Zope on Alpha/Redhat?
How do you do it? Any success stories with Alpha/Debian maybe? I'd rather 
find a solution than tell a bunch of customers they need new hardware :-/.

Thanks,
Stefan
