I've seen this too, but a restart cured it for me. stunnel problems were 
suspected but we never got a definite cause.

Definitely sounds odd, but I'd suggest that site-packages isn't a 
problem, and I don't know of a system lib that can cause such a specific 
problem.

Was /usr/local/bin/python from a source install of python?
If not, I'd suggest trying a source install...

Do you have any additional Zope products installed? If so, which ones?
