[Twisted-Python] problems with trial and adbapi

Dear Twisters I'm diving into the twisted matrix. Mostly really enjoying it, but sometimes it's a tough ground :) Now i'm trying to set up unittests with trial for a small twisted datastore. the store itself works outside of trial, but strange things happen when running the tests. The first thing I had to learn, is to explicitly start the dbpool with dbpool.start(). Now the tests work sometimes, but sometimes not. I guess the problem has something to do with adbapi's usage of threads and my using of 'deferredResult()' in the tests. can someone help me here? thanks, donfu.
