[Zope] Problem Creating Instances Mysteriously Solved

[Matthew T. Kromer]

Sometimes ZClasses can get wedged  --  I don't know the details on when, 
but one workaround is to delete the last character from the class ID 
(usually an equal sign) and then add it back again (two separate 
changes).  That will usually re-attach broken ZClasses in my experience.
