"It has to do with the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. If it's set to 10.4,  
the
legacy version of setpgrp is used (with args), it it's 10.5, setpgrp
expects no arguments. It seems configure won't detect the difference."

This issue was fixed for Python 2.5. As the issue notes, you can work  
around it with:

./configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5

But it would be really nice if the configure fix for 2.5 was  
backported to 2.4.5 since Zope is still on 2.4 and Mac OS X skipped  
system builds for 2.4 going direct from 2.3 -> 2.5.
