[Zope] z2 Startup Exception(asyncore.py in bind)

[Jens Vagelpohl]

any particular reason you are using zope with PCGI? if there is no 
compelling reason just don't. recompile zope by running wo_pcgi.py.

PID files usually get written to <zope_root>/var. maybe for some 
strange reason it wants to write it elsewhere or the var directory has 
had its permissions changed.

i have no idea what the "zstart" command is. never seen that one.
