Sorry I have no way of directly helping, but since zope freezes over, 
could that be a stupid HW problem? i've seen a few services lock up, 
where the rest went on just fine.
Sometimes it has been temperature, sometimes a ramproblem, maybe 
nearly-ok ram, just operating at too close timings.
I don't expect to hear it's HW; your skills there are well reputed :p

A few ideas to isolate whether it's network problems or...
Can you keep zope running without locks with no connections?
Does it run without locks when connecting from the local box itself?
It it possible to create some local testapp to put load on zope?
And yes, I did read it works with one client. Doesn't make it better.
