Hello First of all, thanks a lot for this wonderful package! I am using Durus 1.2 on python 2.3 and windows 2000. I seem to have some problem with FileStorage. Since there is no __del__ in FileStorage, it depends on python's ability to "del"ing all the remaining objects when it's closing the vm -- it doesn't explictly call "close" method in FileStorage. However, when running durus with quixote on top of twisted server and I send SIGINT(via ctrl-c), there seems to be a problem. Restarting and terminating the application with SIGINT a couple of times, I encounter short read IOError. At first, I though Durus was too fragile to use in a serious environment. To solve the problem, I used "atexit" in order to call the close method on connection.storage explicitly just before the shut down. Now I don't see short read error any more (so far). What is the expected way of using(and closing) Connection and FileStorage (with twisted)?
