We found and fixed a bug after beta 6 that could explian this.
This fix will be in the Zope 2 release later today. I suggest we see if
this fixes the problem. If you'd like to try the fix sooner, let me know
and I'll send you the file to be uploaded.

Of course, if this fix doesn't fix the problem, then you'll have my full
attention until we chase it down.
