Great.  It's hard to remember just what you've improved.  Keep it up! 
:-)  The nice thing about delaying the listen call is that Zope won't 
look like it's accepting connections until it really is.  OTOH, for 
development, it might be nicer if Zope started accepting connections 
immediately.  I guess it could be an option.  (Just thinking out loud.)
