[Zope-dev] Zope 2.4.0 CopySupport changes seem wrong

[Chris McDonough]

I'm not completely sure I understand the problem (rushed for time at the
moment), but it was me who f'ed up the trunk and 2.4 in order to service
the collector.  Can anybody provide a suggestion as to what to do in
order to unbreak formulator and address the original collector issue's
problem?
