If Federico is talking about the same problem that ZPyGreSQL users
encountered, then it only happens when Zope is run as a daemon.  As long as
it is started with a pty to talk to, it's fine.  Start it using the sysvinit
script, and it goes down *hard* every time something prints (in the ZPyGreSQL
case, whenever Zope propagated an error message from PostgreSQL).
