The last tid is already set as a result of the invalidate() calls made
in _update_cache().

previous one" check fails.  Surprise!  The test was using tid < self.tid,
not <=, so it can't be the case that the test was failing because the new
tid was equal to the last one.  Changed the test to use <=.  Maybe that's
not a good change, but, if not, then the error message is wrong <wink>.

Connection initialized _map as a dict containing a single entry
mapping the connection's fileno to the connection.  That was a misuse
of the _map variable, which is also used by the asyncore.dispatcher
base class to indicate whether the dispatcher users the default
socket_map or a custom socket_map.  A recent change to asyncore caused
it to use _map in its add_channel() and del_channel() methods, which
presumes to be a bug fix (may get ported to 2.3).  That causes our
dubious use of _map to be a problem, because we also put the
Connections in the global socket_map.  The new asyncore won't remove
it from the global socket map, because it has a custom _map.

Also change a bunch of 0/1s to False/Trues.

The comment indicated that end could be None, and I've fleshed out the

Move setLastTid() call into block where lock is held.

Remove some unnecessary pack() calls.

This eliminates a bunch of checks that weren't exercised by the test
suite.  Not sure if they were superstition or not, but I'm willing to
risk it.

Adding a simple test for the zeopasswd script. Modifies zeopasswd.main()                    slightly to accept a Database class; this is used only because                              auth_plaintext isn't an "officially supported" authentication protocol.

For no extra charge did some usage cleanups and added a check to
