Hold the phone, has anyone solved collector #200
<http://collector.zope.org/Zope/200> yet?  On Solaris and OpenBSD,
Zope 2.5.0 was crashing repeatedly on startup with Python 2.2, but
not Python 2.1.  I believe the consensus was that there was some
EC issues with 2.2.  If Shane has a branch that solves this, PLEASE
point me in that direction...

And as far as my setup.py vs. the HEAD setup.py goes, either should
work, though the dcpyexpat issue I mentioned earlier may trip some
people up.  Not sure.

P.S. I can't argue right now, I'm supposed to be in bed... :-)
