[Zope] Apparent Zope Crash

[Chris McDonough]

Hi Paul,

Believe it or not, you've had the same problem all along. ;-)  But 
recently you installed Python 2.1.2 which, instead of silently 
continuing with memory corruption after doing a nonsensical stack size 
computation like Python 2.1.1, it just dies.

All Zope releases in the 2.4 series have bugs in their compiler modules 
which cause stack sizes to be computed improperly, triggering this 
error.  If you want to "fix" it, either use the Zope-2_4-branch from CVS 
or wait until Zope 2.4.4 is released (which I've heard from a little 
birdy is really soon).
