The problem here (if it hasn't been reported already) is a combination 
of python 2.1.1 and FreeBSD.  You need to use Python 2.1.3 with a 
stack-size increase patch to run Zope reliably on FreeBSD.  Python 2.1.1 
is buggy with respect to a number of things that are exercised by TAL 
and python scripts.
