This change breaks an obscure bit of Zope's security
machinery,
which uses the __name__ of a function to construct the
synthetic
attribute name under which the roles for a method are
stored.

Assigned to me, and boosted priority, since this should be 
addressed for 2.4.1.

Oops.  My fault, easy to fix.

Fixed on HEAD in 

Objects/funcobject.c revision 2.68
Lib/test/test_funcattrs.py revision 1.17

and on 24-maint in

Objects/funcobject.c revision 2.67.2.1
Lib/test/test_funcattrs.py revision 1.16.2.1

Copy and paste are evil...

Thanks, Michael!  It _looked_ like a copy-paste glitch <wink>.

I've confirmed that the specific failing Zope test works with 
current release24-maint branch.
