[ZODB-Dev] ZEO Cross-platform?

[jholland@tomsw.com]

I figured out how to get the BLATHER log data. This time I was running
ZEO on a Sun and connecting to it from Linux (Red Hat Intel)-- the
following  comes out in the log when attempting a
Clientstorage.ClientStorage((....)) I tried a few times and got the
same result. From a user perspective the storage=ClientStorage....
command in Python on the Linux box just didn't respond at all (no more >>>
prompt)
