This code, which is inaccessible for TTW scripts but interferes with TTW
rendering nonetheless, is in lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py in 2
places around line 620. It blindly assumes the exception has already
been mentioned in the template and replaces the exception in the
traceback formatting routine with '(see above)'. It also bothers me no
end, but I believe (but haven't checked) that's all changed in Zope 2.6
with the new exception logging system.
