[Zope] import and setting tmp dir

I'll bear this in mind.  It seems unlikely because when I do 'top'
sorted by memory during the copy operation, the python processes have
a stable, low memory usage while the root partition fills.

I am still curious about the strace, though.

When I do 
  > strace ./start -t1 -Z ''

I initially have one python process listed in 'top'.  When I access a
folder through the zope manager interface, two additional python
process are spawned.

Before folder access: 
 2793 nobody     9   0 18176  17M  2312 S     0.0  3.5   0:04 python2.1

After folder access in manager interface:
 2793 nobody     9   0 18660  18M  2344 S     0.0  3.6   0:04 python2.1
 2797 nobody     9   0 18660  18M  2344 S     0.0  3.6   0:00 python2.1
 2798 nobody    14   0 18660  18M  2344 S     6.5  3.6   0:00 python2.1

So I am still not sure if my strace is capturing all the relevant
events because it appears some threads are still spawned.  On a lark,
I tried
> strace ./start -t0 -Z ''&

Now no new processes are spawned according to 'top', but the server
never responds to requests (the browser just hangs), although I could
see the requests in my strace...
