I was just trying to install this patch on my system (Debian Potato, Zope 2.1.6
from src) and ran into a couple of problems. 


Firstly it failed to import the library due to an fprint statement which I think
 is meant to be fprintf. I changed this and then the module loaded correctly
however it then seemed to just die with no error or anything. After starting
ope in read only mode (-r) it would start and be fine until you access it and
then it would segfault.

I really don't know where to start in debugging this  and unfortunately 
don't have time at the moment :(.

Just thought I would let you know about the problem.

Cheers,
