[Zope] Trouble building Zope on BSDi 3.0

[Pete Beazley]

Thanks Martijn -

Creating my own access file got me farther along. I can now get Zope to
start and the ZServer indicates it's listening. But when I try to connect
with my browser, I get yet another overflow traceback and it is again a
conversion error. Looks like there is something fundamentally wrong here.

So I ran "make test" on my Python installation, and sure enough, looks like
my Python installation is flawed - test_cmath, test_math, and test_pow all
fail, two of them with overflow errors.

Looks like it's actually a Python problem, so I'm going to dig into my
Python installation now!

Thanks for your help!
