No, our april's fools joke did NOT cause this. I emailed Stephan and Jim 
the traceback BEFORE we did the joke. Of course, we DID run the test 
before checking in our joke! Unfortunately, we seemed to have confused 
poor Stephan, since his attempts to fix the problem caused more test 
failures than we had before...

The problem occurrs when you have both a Zope 2.7 and Zope3 tree in your 
pythonpath. Because only then it finds the old Acquisition module and 
tries to create a subclass from new-style class (Persistent) and 
ExtensionClass (Acquisition.Implicit). Zope2 HEAD and Zope3 work fine 
together in the pythonpath because there ExtensionClass is just a 
new-style class façade.
So, I guess this problem is ignorable and just occurrs on those machine 
with a setup described above. I bet Roger has exactly the same setup.

I *do* hope y'all had a good laugh out of the good ol' Principia source, 
though. We sure did. Too bad it got ruined a little by this.
