Well, this has happened to us in the last week (acl_user objects 
vanishing) but it isn't the problem we've been experiencing for 
months. The object usually still exists, but Zope just refuses to 
accept them as genuine users when you try and login as them.

However, an upgrade to 2.5 and to the more recent Python sounds 
like a good idea regardless.
