BRAVO!

After reading your message I realized that I had installed the latest 
PTKBase product.  I hadn't made the connection that things broke after 
making that change.  I was lucky enough to have an older version of PTKBase 
lying around and I replaced the PTKBase with the old one.  I restarted ZOPE 
and voila!  My broken items were fixed.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Now my concern is why installing a different 
PTKBase should have affected items which had nothing (to my knowledge) to 
do with the PTK.
