the Report Thread was only a read-only thread it did not attempt to commit.

did not try pure ZODB - but I have a feeling that would
work.  life is good as long as you dont try to WRITE
in the thread because the transaction_manager blocks
writes to the ZODB unless the thread is under its control.

I would imagine it would be problems in any Zope.  I dont see how it would
be specific to ClientStorage.
