my view on the problem is that inside error handling code you can't
count on anything. db connection? can be fsck-ed. everything can be
fsck-ed, so an almost static page with (hidden) debug info and (visible)
excuses to the user is more than enough. zope is doing the right thing,
it just need to advertise its behaviour so that nobody gets bitten
again.
