[Zope] Problem with ZCatalog output and SiteAccess (with workaround)

[Chris McDonough]

Marcin,

Can you post this problem in to the Collector? 
http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector.  I think there's a simple fix to
make ZCatalog play nicely with Site Access, and if it's in the
collector, we won't forget about it.
