Apparently, there are various SIGSEGV issues with Zope 2.4 and/or
Python2.1:

  *  the "pymalloc" issue

  *  a change in "borrowed/owned" policy with respect to
     a specific Python function (--> mailing list archives)

  *  a missing "Py_INCREF" in the new "cAccessControl"
     implementation (--> "zope-dev@zope.org" posts from yesterday
     and today).

Maybe, there are even more issues...

Maybe, your Zope did not use "/usr/bin/python" at all!

If your "/usr/bin/python" has been Python 1.5.2 and
your Zope was 2.4, then Zope still uses the old Python (not recompiled)
which is not located in "/usr/bin".
Look at Zope's start script. You should see there, what Python is used.
