I honestly don't remember where that whole "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL" stuff 
originated, but it seems to be one of those myths that somehow never 
die. I have used all kinds of RH/FC releases over the last 5 years and 
it seems that LD_ASSUME_KERNEL was used for some other purpose, and 
unfortunately it has reached complete FUD status as far as Python/Zope 
is concerned now...
