Log message for revision 27797:
  Merge rev 27796 from 3.3 branch.
  
  Merge revs 27788 and 27795 from Zope trunk.
  
  See Collector #1350.
  
  ghostify() and unghostify() detect one form of thread insanity
  now.  In a debug build, they abort the process if it happens.
  In a release build, unghostify() raises SystemError, and
  ghostify() ignores it (ghostify() can't raise an exception).

+What's new in ZODB3 3.3.1?
+==========================
+Release date: xx-xxx-2004
+
+persistent
+----------
+
+Collector #1350:  ZODB has a default one-thread-per-connection model, and
+two threads should never do operations on a single connection
+simultaneously.  However, ZODB can't detect violations, and this happened
+in an early stage of Zope 2.8 development.  The low-level ``ghostify()``
+and ``unghostify()`` routines in ``cPerisistence.c`` were changed to give
+some help in detecting this when it happens.  In a debug build, both abort
+the process if thread interference is detected.  This is extreme, but
+impossible to overlook.  In a release build, ``unghostify()`` raises
+``SystemError`` if thread damage is detected; ``ghostify()`` ignores the
+problem in a release build (``ghostify()`` is supposed to be so simple that
+it "can't fail").
