Interesting. You mentioned earlier that a recent round of ZEO cache bugs
was very difficult to provoke on Redhat linux.  But at my company we
were constantly seeing stale data via ZEO, all on red hat boxes.
The ZEO clients were all running on smp (intel) hardware. 

Does pythonlabs have no SMP box available for testing?

then again, my cache problems were apparently cured by moving to
ZEO from ZODB-3.1.2 so maybe you're talking about a more
recent bug.
