Thank you... it is comforting to see that I have not lost my mind :-)

Yes, it s really weird... I just can t find any connection between the
threading issues and the usage of ZEO. Hmpf.

I hope, some python god will delve into this to find a solution. It
feels a bit awkward, that a bug like this is sleeping there. And I
personally don t find it very comforting to know, it will hopefully
only happen with -u... to feel sure I d like to know a little bit
more.

I thought of that too, but 1. there's this localhost problem and
2. pound is easy to install and filters requests, so it makes the
setup more secure ... even though on this in-house site thats not so
very important

I have it running now but that has cost me some sleepless nights...

Stefan.
