Does anybody know why Gadfly does not work under the new Zope 2.1.1
source release running on solaris ?

For example:

After downloading and installing Python 1.5.2 and building with the
threads option,
and then downloading and installing Zope 2.1.1 and running,
Python works fine, Zope / Zserver works fine, External methods work
fine,
everythin else works fine,
But
when trying to use "Gadfly" with Zope, Gadfly pretty much does Not work
at all!

The Zope Content Manager allows you to establish "Gadfly" connections
even when there is No "Gadfly" server running!
Then the Zope Content Manger goes thru the motions of allowing you to
Test and Submit SQL Queries to a Non-Running "Gadfly" Server.

I have built installed and ran a-o-k the "Gadfly" Server and tested it
out with the Test Scripts and with External Methods
and "Gadfly" works just fine!

But
When trying to use "Gadfly" with Zope - Forget It - "Gadfly" just won't
fly !!!
