On a previous version of M2Crypto that line said: map()[self.ctx] = 
self, and that failed too ("unhashable object", I think).
I changed the class _ctxmap (the map() above returns an instance of 
it) to use str(key) in the 3 places it was used. (That would be 
equivalent to use str(self.ctx) everywhere, instead of long(self.ctx) 
as your traceback is showing). All I can say is that no error 
happened afterwards, but I don't know if that broke something. (and I 
didn't care at the moment, I only needed a Zope instance running on 
Windows with SSL for less than a week - and if it were "cheating SSL" 
it was OK for me then)

So using str() appears, at least on the surface, to be reasonable. 
But someone with more intimate knowledge of the library should 
confirm that. I don't even understand what's the point for the 
_ctxmap singleton - it's the same thing as a global dictionary, isn't it?
