I just set efs to explicitly use passive mode:

(setq efs-use-passive-mode t)

I've tried about 8 logins so far with no crash, which is better than I
usually get.  Of course, every once in a while I'll get on a run where
I succeed in 20 or more logins, and then I finally make an attempt
that kills Zope again.  If this works I'm gonna send ya flowers,
'cause this single problem has kept me from falling in love with Zope.

It would seem, though, like having Zope be so delicate in the face of
active FTP connections would constitute a fairly nasty bug.  Unless,
of course, the issue that I'm running to is completely idiosyncratic
to me.
