[Zope] html2pdf error

[Dennis Allison]

You probably should upgrade your Zope to 2.6.2b5.  

The use of Python 2.2 is known to work, but may cause difficulties because
of the changes between 2.1.3 and 2.2.  I suspect you may have run into one
of those problems.  Upgrading to 2.6.2b5 may help.

RH9 is also known to have problems due to changes in threading and
elsewhere.  The commonly agreed upon recommendation is to upgrade to the
latest release of everything.
