[Zope-dev] ZEO on Windows?

I'm having some issues trying to use ZEO on Win2k w/ Apache and Quixote.

Specifically:

  - if I happen to call client code before the server is running, I get
a python process which is completely hung -- I can't even kill it from
the process monitor w/ administrator privs.  Every client request will
result in a hung Python process.

  - if the server is already set up (as should normally be the case),
sometimes the client request goes through, sometimes it doesn't.  I'm
not getting any tracebacks or info in the Apache logs.

I could write up some simple Python test cases, but the documentation
makes me wonder if ZEO works on windows at all (e.g. the unqualified
reference to unix domain sockets =).  so...

Does ZEO work on Windows?  Any gotchas?
