Running openbsd 3.5/sparc64 with python 2.3.3. If I tell my zope (2.
7.0) installation to setuid to user _zope and start it as root so it can
bind to port 80, python crashes with sigbus. Its fine if I start it out
as user _zope and just let it use port 8080 though. I tried to compile
python with debugging symbols to get a backtrace, but all I get is
___start() and main() then the rest of the trace is all ??. Feel free to
email me for info, like if you can help me get a real backtrace or
something.

Can you find a core file, or modify your system so that a
core file is generated? With a core file, you can run "gdb
python core", then invoke "bt" to find precisely where it
crashes.

There is a good chance that the bug is in one of Zope's
extension modules, in which case it would not be a Python bug.

Sorry, this is a zope bug for sure, nevermind.

Closing as 3rdParty and WontFix. Looks like a 64-bit platform
bug in Zope's C code; details at
