I tried it with the default superuser/123 combination, then with
a variety of
others via the access file. Same result. I'm authenticated OK,
but then I get the error and the backtrace in my original
posting. The server logs show it happening,
first the 401 authentication challenge then the 500 of the
server error.

It's very frustrating reading about the great things Zope can do
and not being able to get off the ground with it. I thought
about getting a binary of 1.x.x instead, but I prefer to have
control of what goes where on my system, so I guess I'll have to
give up for now.
