CMFWeblog in particular, but then again i basically grabbed (almost)
every product I found find on zope.org that used CMF, installed them,
played with them, and then removed almost all, so it could have been one
of the others.  All the errors pointed to CMFWeblog-like things tho.

I now run distinct play, test, verify, and production portals (on the
same box).
