The import is already fixed in the trunk.

Furthermore, a segfault, except in extremely rare cases involving C extensions, cannot be zope fault's but reveals a problem in your python installation.

Looks like deprecated OFS code in ImageFile.py can causes segfault, at least in my case.  Seems unlikely that this is a common problem.  Nevertheless... 

Here's the symptom:
$ ./runzope
/usr/local/Zope-2.9.0/lib/python/App/ImageFile.py:21: DeprecationWarning: Using OFS.content_types is deprecated (will be removed in Zope 2.11). Instead use zope.app.contenttypes.
  from OFS.content_types import guess_content_type
Segmentation fault

Heres the fix (diff -u):
