I've read a lot in the mailing list about people that have read in the
mailing lists about problems with external methods and ZClasses.  However, I
haven't been able to find in the archives, and haven't read any evidence
that this is true, and if so, why.  I'm using External Methods in my
ZClasses without any problems, but I'm starting to believe something is
going to pop up and zap me someday. :-)

Would someone with direct knowledge of this alleged problem please confirm
or dismiss that it exists?

Thanks!
