[ZODB-Dev] ZEO and fork()

[Pedro Ferreira]

Hello,

We have a script that does something like this:

import os
from ZEO.ClientStorage import ClientStorage

if os.fork()==0:
    print ClientStorage(('localhost',9675))
    print 'foo'
else:
    print 'child: %s' % os.getpid()

And it worked with ZODB 3.4, but we recently noticed that with 3.8 the
child process hangs. But if we import ClientStorage only inside the
process, it seems to work OK.
Is this supposed to happen? Is there a workaround?

Regards,

Pedro
