Is it possible, that you upgraded from an earlier Zope installation?

The traceback suggests that your requests tries to access the object "broken", probably an object from a broken product.

Thanks, I've found the problem: It was a broken ZPatterns. I've updated to 0.4.2a3, but left an "old" compiled Dynpersist.so in the directory (V 0.3). After updating this, everything was fine. I guess I just have to be prepared to get the weirdest sstuff to see as long as I 1.) use alpha/beta products to authenticate my users on root level, and 2.) keep refusing to wear glasses (Actually, this beta ZPatterns is fine).

The traceback suggests that your requests tries to access the object "broken", probably an object from a broken product. I suggest, you start Zope with "STUPID_LOG_FILE=zope.log". This should log problems during Zope startup to "zope.log" (you may need to upgrade to Zope 2.2.2, as earlier Zope versions lost one exception log due to a missing "flush"). If you see no problems logged, try to go to "Control_panel/ProductManagement" and check whether there are broken products.
