just commenting out various stuff in initialize()
and restarting zope to see if I get ReadOnlyError.
This is what is puzzling; if I use the same technique today, 
the error seems clearly related to the registerHelp and 
registerFieldHelp calls... but last week I concluded that
those were not the problem, and I don't recall what made me think that.
