Hm, I was trying the alpha. An alpha that doesn't start in its default 
configuration isn't going to be tested very widely..

I'm not sure this is the same error report though; I didn't specify any 
ip address myself but am using the derfault zope.conf. I do not just 
have problems *accessing* the site through localhost, I cannot even 
start it. But perhaps this error is a symptom of this behavior, don't know.
