Todays buildbot results look a lot like the problems I've seen, for example:

http://dev.thehealthagency.com/buildbot/builders/zope2.14-py2.7%20slave-ubuntu32/builds/276/steps/test/logs/stdio

But zope.testbrowser isn't actually used much in Zope 2 itself and the
makesite test above might be the only one. I've witnessed a lot more
problems in Plone tests which make ample use of it.
