[Zope] Dangerous "cvs update"

My yesterday "cvs update" let my Zope fail to start: Panic - startup
exception; type error in "ZServer/HTTPServer".

I analysed the problem:

  Apparently "asyncore.py" has been moved.
  "cvs update" had correctly remove the Python source
  but (of course) left alone the corresponding "*.pyc" file.

  Somehow, this old "*.pyc" file caused the problem.
  After manual removal, my Zope works again.
