I have solved my problem.  

I only get the lock-ups with the Python installed on my machine.  Not
when using the Python interpreter supplied with the Zope.  After
stepping through with the debugger, I realised that I have a ZEO and
ZODB in my site-packages of my Python installation.  The ZEO in my
Python installation is 2.1.5c1.  The ZEO supplied with my Zope is
2.2.1.

I guess there is some incompatability with the two.  What threw me off
course, was that I put the correct ZEO on the sys.path and assumed
that was the one that was used.  In reality, an older one "earlier" in
the path was used.

Sorry for the trouble, I could have solved my own problem if I took
the trouble of firing up the debugger earlier!

Thanks
