Make python from ports and set WANT_HUGE_STACK_SIZE:
/usr/ports/lang/python $ make WANT_HUGE_STACK_SIZE=yes ...
This sets a 1MB instead of 128KB stack size for threads in python.
Plone in particluar needs this to prevent core dumps, but I have
only seen it happen under python 2.1 and zope <=2.6. FreeBSD 4.6 - 4.8.
I say install zope/plone from plain source, not ports.
If you have an SMP system and are looking for production speed under load,
I hear you should run a ZEO storage server process and run a client Zope
instance
for each processor. Then load-balance incoming requests onto all those
with Apache or other magic. I don't know how sessions work with this setup.
It also reduces impact of the python global interpreter lock (only one
thread can
enter the python interpreter at a time). Running a ZEO server is
supposed to be
good for other reasons too. You better have a lot of memory though.
