Thanks for the quick response! lsof gives me nothing, and I still have 
trouble when all python processes are killed. Even after a reboot. I 
thought it might be a corrupt Data.fs or something, but I can get it to 
start on another instance of zope. Could it be some lock file that I don't 
know about? I'm stumped.

Thanks,
