But on the other hand, your dedication in helping me find a fix is 
heartening. ;)

I have a slight suspicion that lxml is involved somewhere. I've managed 
to make it crash reliably simply by doing a parse of an XML file, and I 
think such a parse may be happening as a side effect of a module import 
caused by that very ZCML file.

That doesn't really explain why pdb dies when it dies, but I don't know 
how the C/Python boundary is working here (especially since I can't 
really see the C code).

I'm re-building for the n-th time, so I'll check again tomorrow when 
that's done.
