I've been looking at how zombies are handled in Zope. seems that zope
has an zhttp_channel analogous to http_channel; it has the zombie stuff,
but without the maintainance thing so the kill_zombies method doesn't
seem to get called. I noticed that ftp_server doesn't have a zombie
timeout is there an obvious reason why not?
