[Zope] UserFolder and errors after owner of an object is deleted

[george donnelly]

This is a consequence of the changes enacted to prevent server-side trojan
attacks, I believe. So, its a feature and not a bug ;p

from:
http://www.zope.org//Members/jim/ZopeSecurity/ServerSideTrojan

What happens if the owner goes away?

What if someone deletes the owner from the user database, or deletes the
user database? If the owner can't be found, then we'll use the special user
nobody, which is extremely unprivileged.
