The problem is more that the Zope code in 2.4.3 and earlier is _broken_.
Busted. Incorrect. Wrong. Corrupter of memory, destroyer of data, eater of
souls. Python 2.1.1 would silently continue and at some point in the future
would crash and burn, maybe. The Zope code includes it's own version of the
standard Compiler package. Until 2.4.4 is out, your best hope is to run 
the 2.4.4 beta.
