Now I'm having another problem. Web browsing works fine, and when I connect
with my ftp client, I see the object listing in the topmost object.
However, when I attempt to open one of the folders, I get the following
error from ZServer:

exception in trigger thunk: (exceptions.TypeError:illegal argument type for
built-in operation
[/usr/local/src/Zope/ZServer/medusa/select_trigger.py|handle_read|82]
[/usr/local/src/Zope/ZServer/FTPResponse.py|apply|127]
[/usr/local/src/Zope/ZServer/FTPServer.py|listdir_completion|237]
[/usr/local/src/Zope/ZServer/medusa/filesys.py|unix_longify|398])

and it fails to answer my ftp client's request for an ls. ZServer doesn't
quit, but it gets this same error for every request after this.
