ways, but unittest never notices this because the tests always fail in
a thread unittest doesn't know anything about.  Changed ClientThread
to derive from the MTStorage tests' TestThread, which arranges to re-raise
a thread-death exception in the main thread.  Tested "by hand", via
temporarily forcing fatal thread exceptions in all the Pack[Now]WhileWriting
tests; unittest did notice those now.  So, when this happens again in real
life, we'll no longer be fooled by test runner reports claiming that
everything passed, and then frustrated by not even being able to tell
which test failed (you can't tell from the isolated thread traceback(s)
wading in the sea of testrunner dot output).

in a new tuple.  If the chain of stuff triggered by the
subsequent PyEval_CallObject() happened to trigger cyclic gc, then there
were more gc-visible pointers to self than could be accounted for by
self->ob_refcnt, and in a debug build Python died with an assertion
failure.

The code has always been this way, but Jeremy points out that it didn't
matter in previous versions of ZODB, because "self" was always an
ExtensionClass instance before, and gc ignored those.

ZRS compatibility.

created the possibility that the checking code would need to try to read
up data from a closed connection.  This turned out to be a frequent source
of new failures in checkConcurrentUpdates1Storage (both FileStorage and BDB
flavors).  Changed all of the relevant tests to grab the BTree anew from
the newly-opened connection.

Don't use bpthread; just use thread.

In the branches that call loadBefore() or raise ConflictError, make
sure we always return.  Either case satisfies the original call to
setstate() and we don't want to load the current state.

ZConfig.components.logger, adding only what's special about the zLOG
version of the factory

Bug reported by Dieter Maurer.

The change required several of the read-conflict tests to be updated
to specify that they don't want MVCC support.  It was basically
accidental that they passed before this change.  Note that we don't
have any tests of code that gets a read conflict in MVCC mode, which
would only be possible after a pack() or in some other weird case.

problem is likely somewhere else, but I'm not going to stay up tonight

This old script was provided in 3.2 only to ease transition.  Removed
now, because it depends on zdaemon.Daemon, which no longer exists.
