 This looks like a hard one.

 Maybe You could first try to find the python level statement
triggering the core dump via the pdb; e.g. see:

 http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/HowTos/TheDebuggerIsYourFriend

Additionally You can narrow down the problem a little: does the problem
appear, if Zope is running single threaded, too? (If it does, why does
the 'testrunner.py' run? Maybe try to write a test visiting '/Examples'?)

 There have been some reports about problems with Zope and BSD, which
are actually caused by some operating system stack overflow or
such. Maybe a similar problem applies here, too?

not very helpful, just a few thoughts.
