Paul,

I'm fairly familiar with the ZEO code, but I've never run it on
Windows :-(.  The exception raises a question, though.

The complaint here is that the storage you are using with the ZSS does
not support len().  It should, which suggests it might be a simple
configuration problem.

How exactly do you start the ZSS?  (e.g. the -S argument to start.py)
