I'm not a fcntl guru bu I didn't see any "fcntl.F_GETFL" in the doc of
Python 2.1.3. Probably a really deprecated stuff. But I'm not capable of
fixing this correctly by myself.
It will go to the Collector tomorrow (if not already recorded)

The fact is that my script works when Zope server is down and crashes when
it is up (Data.fs doesn't seem to be usable concurrently by two different
processes)
I didn't get exactly what's ZEO. I'm gonna dive into this.

Many thanks again
