Better, at least. :)

I don't know; it's quite possible that this isn't possible, as 
ZopeTestCase uses ZODB-level trickery to speed up the running of tests 
while keeping as much of the Zope environment around while it runs. You 
should take this up with Stefan Holek, the ZopeTestCase developer. From 
glancing at the README of ZopeTestCase there is a claim that ZEO ought 
to work using ZEO_INSTANCE_HOME, so perhaps there's a way.

Stefan Holek's page (with contact info) is here: http://zope.org/Members/shh
