sounds like you might be getting pipe lock where two streams are blocking and so 
locking everything up...

Have a look at this:
http://cvs.zope.org/Packages/TestScripts/autotester.py.diff?r1=1.6&r2=1.7

...which solved the problem outside of Zope when I ran into it.

Be interesting to see how it fares fro mwithin Zope...

cheers,

Chris
