Does this already happens for the first time?

It would be understandable when it happes after some successes
unless you close the ZODB connection when you are finished:

       Zope.app() opens a ZODB connection which must be closed
       later. There is a connection pool (of 7 connections, by default).
       The application blocks when there are no free connections.
