Just for the record, this problem is addressed in the Zope Collector:

http://zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1301

The fix is to comment out lines 347-358:

  #try:
      #import initgroups
      #initgroups.initgroups(effective_user, gid)
      #os.setgid(gid)
  #except OSError:
  #    zLOG.LOG("Zope", zLOG.INFO,
  #		'Could not set group id of effective user',
  #		error=sys.exc_info())

of $ZOPE/lib/python/Zope/Startup/__init__.py
