Don't rememebr seeing anything like this in ZDiscussions when I was
looking over the code...

Maybe it's a Zope-level rather than ZODB level problem? Maybe some of
the ZClass machinery or product registration machinery is screwing
things up?

Given that people have reported this from more than one product now, I'd
be inclined to think it's not random bits of bad code in products. Maybe
there's a method/pattern which used to be okay/recommended which is now
causing problems?
