Here I'm piping up, finally; I didn't catch this thread until before. 

I found a pyassem.py 6 days old in the trunk, so I'm putting that into
a Zope2.5.0b2 now.. restarting Zope..

Nope. Would be odd if it had, as this code shouldn't be exercising
restricted Python at all anyway (it's just a Python product in 
the filesystem).

Setting ZOPE_SECURITY_POLICY to PYTHON makes the problem go away, 
so I suspect the problem is still with cAccessControl..

(or in ParsedXML, but the code isn't complicated securitywise as far as 
I am aware, and doesn't crash when I run it in plain python)
