[Zope3-dev] Bug in "Zope Configuration Error" tracebacks

[Guido van Rossum]

I'm trying to get the JobBoardEx demo running again.  There's a
problem in the configuration file (of course :-), but the traceback
doesn't help me tracking it down: the line numbers in the zcml files
(the only clues I have) are wrong.  Here's the full traceback, with
some annotations:
