aq_base is not a method (nor is aq_inner).  "wrapped_object.aq_base()"
just unwraps wrapped_object then tries to execute __call__() on the
unwrapped object.  If there is infinite recursion that results, there's
a 99.9% chance that the object simply isn't supposed to be called when
unwrapped (which DTML can't do anyway because of security checks.)
