[Zope] crash on import: "multiple definitions of symbol _initSplitter"

[Andreas Jung]

This is a Mac specific problem because Zope 2.4 comes with a pluggable
interface for splitters. MacOS is unable to different modules with the same
API (in this case the Splitter API). Stay tuned until we have found a
solution.

Sorry about that,
Andreas
