I'm on vacation today, and can't make time to pursue this, so just as a data
point, the Zope3 tests ran to completion for me yesterday on Win2K, using
Python 2.3 and MSVC 6.  There was a repeatable hang the first time I tried
it, in the ZEO WindowsConnectionTests, but it was a shallow bug and Jeremy
checked in a fix.  No problems after that.

So two difference from what I did there.

Those have no intersection w/ the problem I saw yesterday, and, indeed, I've
never seen those tests fail in that way.
