OK, I can reliably reproduce this on a fresh zope + zeo instance
with zope 2.7.3 and a new DirectoryStorage (1.1.9).

Summary:

0) create a zope + zeo instance (i.e. use mkzopeinstance and mkzeoinstance;
   ok to use the same directory for both).
1) configure zeo.conf to use directorystorage:

%import DirectoryStorage
# Main DirectoryStorage database
<directorystorage main>
       path $INSTANCE/var/DirStor
       read-only off
</directorystorage>


2) configure zope.conf to use zeo:

<zodb_db main>
   mount-point /
   <zeoclient>
     read-only off
     server localhost:8100  # or whatever port
     storage main
     name zeostorage
     var $INSTANCE/var
   </zeoclient>
</zodb_db>



3) start zeo
4) start zope
5) confirm that everything works ok, i.e. navigate around the ZMI a bit.
6) add a DirectoryStorageToolkit instance to zope
7) click on the DSToolkit - the management page should come up ok

8) restart zeo. wait a few seconds for zope to reconnect.
9) confirm that everything works - i.e. you can navigate the
ZMI, add new objects, etc.
10) click on the DSToolkit again. DisconnectedError.

11) restart zope.
12) all is OK now including the DSToolkit.

Is this considered a bug? 
Should I file a bug report on sourceforge?
