Neither did I, Paul -- I don't know ZopeUndo from a hole in the ground.  It
_might_ have helped if you had added an entry to ZODB's news file recording
that ZopeUndo.Prefix had changed.  As is, when Tres bumped into this, and I
saw ZopeUndo.Prefix in the server traceback, I vaguely recalled seeing the
checkin msg, and remember vaguely wondering at the time whether that had
something to do with ZODB.  Then I forgot about it, and since there wasn't a
reminder in ZODB's news file, didn't check the changes at all.

Tres and I compounded hacks until it looked like it would work in both
directions.  One of 'em even got tested <wink>.
