I've tried 2.1.3 now, and don't have any problems with that either (Win2K;
current Zope-2_6-branch; Python 2.1.3):


"""
C:\Code\Zope-2_6-branch>\python21\python utilities\testrunner.py -v2 -a
...
checkfsrecover (testFileStorage.FileStorageTests) ... ok
...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1733 tests in 164.677s

OK
"""

If it fails reproducibly for you, perhaps we'd learn more if you replaced
the test's line 194:

        self.assert_(filecmp.cmp("FileStorageTests.fs", "fsrecover.fs"))

with something that dumped the contents of the files.
