This comes from a recent change to ZODB3 which causes anything which 
registers with the transaction manager to be committed in a strict 
order.  It wants the things that register to have a sortKey() method; if 
it doesnt have one, it guesses a default.  Zope *probably* needs to 
update the Shared.DC.ZRDB.TM class to add a sortKey method which is 
harmless.  The reason for the sort orders is to prevent a deadlock when 
a lock is required to commit a transaction and two independant servers 
acquire locks in different orders.
