Plain old FileStorage.

That's what I thought, but how do I find a reference to them?

I can't find anything in Undo that will bring this object back.
Remember, I got rid of it with del(app.stupid_object).
There's no Undo for that.

I did confirm that the sub-objects are around - I found a transactoin
for a sub-object and successfully did Undo on it.

So, knowing the ID of the object, is there a way to 
find a valid reference to it so I can do a real _delObject()
on it?
