We ran Zope exposed to the real world for about 4 weeks and it crashed
pretty much every day. 6 months ago we put it behind Apache and there's not
been a single crash since then.

Looking at the Apache logs we get loads of malformed requests every day from
script kids - my guess is that's the problem.

I'd agree with Terry Hancock's comments on this thread too.
