The first thing to do is to set STUPID_LOG_SEVERITY=-300 and run
again.  You'll get a tedious amount of detail in the logging that
should better reveal what the problem is.

One problem I noted when trying to integrate ZEO with the spambayes
project is that ZEO is fairly sensitive to how the asyncore mainloop
is run.  I assume mod_python doesn't run the asyncore mainloop, so
that ZEO is responsible for calling asyncore directly.  There may be a
bug here that doesn't show up in simple tests and doesn't get exposed
by Zope, because Zope runs the mainloop.
