Nothing, provided you don't try to use the forked ZEO connection from both
processes.

If you try it, let us know how it worked, assuming you can dig yourself out
of the ashes <wink>.  IOW, it's not an intended use case, and I have no idea
what will happen specifically, just vague premonitions of disaster.  Note
that you're going to have two copies of asyncore fighting over clones of the
socket map too.
