I agree with Andreas.
There was a single problem which affected many BSD Zope users:
The stack area for threads was too small by default and let
Zope experience a C stack overflow.
Quickly, a port was available that fixed this problem -- but unaware
users still used the broken Python.
The problem was however fixed a long time ago by Python explicitely
requesting a large enough thread stack...
