Without looking closely at your system, it is hard to say. Perhaps your 
standard_error_message is itself causing an error of some kind. 
Therefore, you're getting the zope hard-coded error message.

Try commenting out most of your standard_error_message, so that there is 
no possible way it could cause an error, then see if you see your 
version or the Zope hardcoded version.
