This was an artefact of debugging with GDB:

  "GDB" instruments the dynamic loader to get informed by a SIGTRAP when
  shared objects are loaded.

  The instrumentation is inherited by the child forked in
  "forker...start_zeo_server". However, the forked child
  is not under control of the debugger. The SIGTRAP on
  the next load of a shared library kills it.
  The ZEO servers does not start and the ZEO clients indefinitely wait
  for it to come up.
