Hm. I ran the Zope2, Zope3, and Twisted test suites against the release
build before the release. I'm open to additional suggestions (I just 
grabbed tmda, but it doesn't have a test suite). In this case, the 
problem hopefully would've been picked up with a release candidate, but
I'm also happy to add additional slabs of test suites to run against 
code before it's released...
