Apparently, the crash destroyed some files.

First step: remove all "*.pyc" files, restart and see whether
your problem disappears.

If not, check "Folder.py".

  In principle, I should have the same version as you,
  but I do not have a reference to "Role" in line 29 of "Folder.py".

  If it was corrupted, restore it from a fresh Zope installation.
