I would probably try to find the errant spot using PDB, e.g.,
I would drop the following line into the 'main()' function:

     import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

Then, when you run the start script using '-D', the debugger will stop
at that point, and you can single step, print variables, etc., using
the "standard Python debugger",

  http://www.python.org/doc/1.5.2p2/lib/module-pdb.html


If that doesn't help, or if you've found a bug, then I would ask
for further help on the zodb-dev@zope.org list.
