Not a small test case, no, but I have boiled it down a bit. If you run the tests from a Zope checkout on the Zope-27-branch, you can provoke the crash with "test.py Template."

Okay. I have a smaller test case, though I don't know what I couldn't find it earlier. If you run "test.py DocumentTemplate UnicodeStr" by itself, you get the crash.

The DocumentTemplate implementation has C and Python implementations of some utilities. It uses the C by default and falls back to Python if the C extension can't be imported. If I change the code so that it always uses the Python implementation, the crash goes away.
