Yes, I mistyped that. It is indeed INSTANCE_HOME in the Zope.cgi, but it
doesn't appear to have an effect. I added it to the command line and it
worked fine, like this:

python z2.py -p /home/httpd/cgi-bin/at/Zope.cgi -2 -w "" \
	INSTANCE_HOME=/home/httpd/zope/at

Now I notice that the process dies now and then. Is the -Z managerial
process supposed to help out with this?
