Aha! you are running as a service. that makes a difference

There is a bug in the win32 extensions where it is not correctly
checking the parameters for CreateProcess. It lets some bad parameters
though, and NT raises an exception (an NT exception, not a python
exception) that eventually kills the process. I send a patch to Mark
Hammond (who maintains this extension) - it's been included in his
current version but not in the one shipped by DC.

The fixable problem is that your registry is missing the command line
that should be used to start the zope server. You can add this in by
hand; it's documented in ZService.py

Im sure I had posted a patch to the collector for this ages ago, but
now I can't see it. Ill send another.
