The CMF requires Zope 2.3.1.  This bug has been fixed in it.  Simple
instructions on fixing the bug in 2.3.0 follow below.

In this file (....\AccessControl\SecurityInfo.py) change line 245 from:

entry = (permission_name, tuple(names), tuple(roles))

to

entry = (permission_name, tuple(names), tuple(roles.keys()))

The above fix, or Zope 2.3.1b1 or greater, will fix this problem.
