Don't try to optimize by checking for disabled and effective levels within the log method.  The logger's level may not be meaningful if this logger is configured with handlers that accept messages at a lower level than that of the logger itself.

check for invalid database type, etc)

check2ZODBThreads(), check7ZODBThreads():  Close the database when

Fred's machine, due to this routine falling off the end and returning
None.  Sync'ing the connection after a ConflictError appears to fix
it, or at least make it much less likely to fail.

not enough stuff in the Windows Python to wait for spawned servers to shut
down.  Spawned servers inherit descriptors for open files from the
spawning process, and because Windows won't let you delete a file that's
still open, the client can't get rid of temp .zec files until the server(s)
disappear(s).  There's no good fix for this before 2.3 on Windows.  For
now, try deleting the temp files repeatedly, sleeping between failures,
but don't wait forever.  If a temp file can't be deleted in the end, raise
the appropriate exception.  This should be rare.  It's important not to
keep going blindly, as I saw one case earlier today where a test passed
by accident due to picking up a .zec file left behind by a previous test
run.

it actually manages to do a commit on the second server.

too.  Mystery:  whether this test dies with permission denied when
trying to unlink the .zec file is still a crapshoot.   Don't know why.
At least four other tests show sporadic failures of the same kind.

Otherwise the temp zec file can't be deleted on Windows.

It was lost backporting changes from the 3.1 branch, which doesn't
have the last tid feature.

(All the other non-test ZODB code uses cStringIO.)
