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

[Jens Vagelpohl]

brenda,

this problem stems from the way OS X imports shared library symbols, and 
as such it only appears on OS X. we are aware of this problem but cannot 
promise any firm date for a fix.

in the interim i suggest using Zope 2.3.3 or 2.3.2
